Hello,
I submitted the package RcppTemplate to CRAN a couple of weeks ago but
the Mac OS X binary has not appeared, and the person in charge of

"nested DESCRIPTION file" so that "Package:" becomes
RcppTemplateRcppTemplate, or something like this.
Can somebody explain what a nested DESCRIPTION file is so I can
resolve this problem?
Thanks,

Based upon a quick review of your package's page on CRAN:
http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/RcppTemplate/index.html
it would appear that the OSX binary is present and the CRAN check page
at:
http://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_RcppTemplate.html
only shows an ERROR for Solaris.
However, upon downloading the source package, you appear to have a
".test" folder within the main package folder, which seems to have a
redundant copy of the full package source within it. That folder of
course includes a duplicate. albeit older, DESCRIPTION file. You
should delete the .test folder to clean up the package source tree and
re-submit.
