I wonder why you do not ask on CRAN@...? List members here cannot know the answer. And we typically do not discuss such matters in public.

I wonder why you do not read the e-mail message you get from the CRAN team?

Please see the message with subject line "Registering .External entry points" you got on January 20. You never answered nor fixed the package, hence the package has been archived.

Best,
Uwe Ligges

Hi Dan,

In case this catches anyone else ...

FWIW, I found the issue ...  in my Rinit.c, my package uses the .External call which 
actually takes one SEXP which points to a "varargs-like" list.

Under 2.15.X and earlier, I thought the proper entry for an .External call was 
as below since it only does take one pointer as an argument:

#include "Rigroup.h"

/* Automate using sed or something. */
#if _MSC_VER >= 1000
__declspec(dllexport)
#endif

    static const R_ExternalMethodDef R_ExtDef[] = {
        {"igroupFuns", (DL_FUNC)&igroupFuns, 1},
        {NULL, NULL, 0},
    };

void R_init_Rigroup(DllInfo *info)
{
  R_registerRoutines(info,NULL,NULL,NULL,R_ExtDef);
}


But now according to the latest online docs on building your own package it 
says:

"For routines with a variable number of arguments invoked viathe .External 
interface, one specifies -1 for the number of arguments which tells R not to check the 
actual number passed. Note that the number of arguments passed to .External are not 
currently checked but they will be in R 3.0.0."

So I need to change my Rinit.c to change the "1" to a "-1" and that error 
should go away.

Thanks again for all your help with this.  I will update my package and 
resubmit it once version 3.0 gets released and I get a chance to verify that 
this does in fact fix the problem.

Kevin
