[R-pkg-devel] Package submission to CRAN

[Brodie Gaslam]

I would just increment the version.  This is the from the CRAN
re-submission policy[1]:

> Updates to previously-published packages must have an increased version. Increasing the version number at each submission reduces confusion so is preferred even when a previous submission was not accepted.

You could always add NEWS entry explaining what the new version
is, then the package will not be exactly the same anymore ;).

Best,

B.

Hi all,

I have a question re package submission that I'm hoping someone might be able to help with.

A package I maintain (dalmatian) was archived last year because one of the packages it depends on (dglm) was removed from CRAN. The dglm package has been fixed and is back on CRAN, and I have resubmitted my package. There have been no changes to my package and I resubmitted the same version with the same version number. I noted this in my submission.

All checks passed, but I received the following from log CRAN-pretest:

Flavor: r-devel-linux-x86_64-debian-gcc, r-devel-windows-ix86+x86_64
Check: CRAN incoming feasibility, Result: WARNING
  Maintainer: 'Simon Bonner simon.bonner using uwo.ca<mailto:simon.bonner using uwo.ca>'

  New submission

  Package was archived on CRAN

  Insufficient package version (submitted: 0.6.1, existing: 0.6.1)

  CRAN repository db overrides:
    X-CRAN-Comment: Archived on 2020-10-18 as requires archived package
      'dglm'.

  This build time stamp is over a month old.

It seems that I am not allowed to submit the package with the same version, but  it also seems odd to increment the version to get around this when nothing at all has changed in the package.

Is there another solution?

Thanks,

Simon
