R-package-devel -- User R Packages Development
About R-package-devel	English (USA)
This list is to get help about package development in R. The goal of the list is to provide a forum for learning about the package development process. We hope to build a community of R package developers who can help each other solve problems, and reduce some of the burden on the CRAN maintainers. If you are having problems developing a package or passing R CMD check, this is the place to ask! Please note that while R-package-devel contributors will do their best to provide you accurate and authoritative information, the final arbiters of CRAN submission is the CRAN team. Please keep it civil. It's easy to get frustrated when building a package, or when answering the same question for what feels like the thousandth time. But everyone involved in the process is a volunteer. Include a reproducible example. We can't help if we don't know what the problem is. For packages, if possible, include a link to the package source. If you're having a problem with R CMD check, include the relevant message inline. If you're in violation of this code, one of the moderators will send you a gentle admonishment off-list. For more about such "Netiquette", read the Debian code of conduct. Note that there may be some overlap of topics with the R-devel mailing list notably as before the existence of R-package-devel, many package developers have used R-devel for questions that are now meant to be asked on this list. Beware that cross-posting, i.e., posting to both, is generally considered as impolite — with rare exceptions, e.g., if a thread is being moved from one list to the other for good reasons. You have to be a subscriber to the list in order to post any message. Even then, your first messages are only posted after one manual moderator approvement. To see the collection of prior postings to the list, visit the R-package-devel Archives.
