[R-pkg-devel] Package name convention: archived package

[Sigbert Klinke]

Hi,

I wanted to submit a package to CRAN. When I ran R CMD check --as-cran I 
saw that the package name is used by another package. After renaming my 
package I googled the new name and it turned out that an archived 
package has the same name. So I renamed my package the second time.

Question: Could I have used the name of the archived package? Especially 
since we do in both packages something similar?

Best Sigbert
