[R-pkg-devel] RES: Time for CRAN response

[Tiago Olivoto]

Thank you for the response.
As far I remember, I've responded that message by following the link and selecting "I have read the CRAN policies and would like to submit this package to CRAN" and " I have checked the submission using R CMD check --as-cran and a current version of r-devel, as mandated by the CRAN Repository Policy. (You could do so using the win-builder service at https://win-builder.r-project.org)", and then clicking on "upload package to CRAN"
These same steps were followed in the first submission, but at that time I received the following message that was not received in the last submission.

Should I try to re-submit it again?
Best,
Tiago Olivoto

If it is not in incoming/, something went wrong.  The most common thing to go wrong is that the maintainer didn't respond to the confirmation message. That message looks like this for a resubmission.  I assume first time submissions have a similar message:

When you confirm submission, you'll get another message that looks like
this:

After that, it goes into a queue for checking, and usually within a few days you'll be told about problems with it or it will be accepted to CRAN.  (Sometimes you'll be told very quickly, if the automated checks find a problem.)
