[R-pkg-devel] Cannot submit package due to false-positive rejection

[Ying Li]

Hello all,

Our package did not pass the automagical checks when submitted to CRAN. We think the rejection is a false positive, so we �reply-all to that message and explain� as following the official instruction. We provided explanation for all notes in that email (replied to cran-submissions using r-project.org<mailto:cran-submissions using r-project.org>) but did not receive any message after 9 days.

I am looking for suggestions on what to do in this case: should we continue waiting for CRAN team�s reply? Or is it necessary to eliminate those notes and then submit the package again?

Below are the notes from CRAN teams' auto-check service and our explanation send to CRAN team:

>Flavor: r-devel-linux-x86_64-debian-gcc, r-devel-windows-x86_64
>Check: CRAN incoming feasibility, Result: NOTE
> Maintainer: 'Arindam RoyChoudhury <arr2014 using med.cornell.edu<mailto:arr2014 using med.cornell.edu>>'

>  New submission

>  Possibly misspelled words in DESCRIPTION:
>    Peng (17:5)
>    Phylogenetics (17:32)
>   al (17:13)
>    et (17:10)

> Size of tarball: 14208488 bytes

Explain:  This is a new submission. These words are not misspelled.

>Flavor: r-devel-windows-x86_64
>Check: examples, Result: NOTE
>  Examples with CPU (user + system) or elapsed time > 10s
>       user system elapsed
>  RDM 40.05   0.89   40.94

Explain:  This is because a large dataset is used in the example. An example with large dataset is necessary, as this package is meant for analyzing large datasets.


>Flavor: r-devel-linux-x86_64-debian-gcc
>Check: examples, Result: NOTE
> Examples with CPU (user + system) or elapsed time > 5s
>      user system elapsed
>  RDM 24.399  0.888  25.289

Explain:  This is because a large dataset is used in the example. An example with large dataset is necessary, as this package is meant for analyzing large datasets.

Any suggestions or comments would be appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Best,
Ying
