Quote:
To "submit" to CRAN, simply upload to ftp://cran.r-project.org/incoming and
send email to cran@r-project.org. Please indicate the copyright situation
(GPL, ...) in your submission. Note that we generally do not accept
submissions of precompiled binaries due to security reasons (we have no
means to check for viruses etc. for the big variety of platforms that R runs
on). All binary distribution listed above are compiled by selected
maintainers, who are in charge for all binaries of their platform,
respectively.
