Sorry if you considered this a waste of bandwidth. I did not know CRAN had its
own mailing list. The reason I never responded to any mail is that I never
received any message in January (I searched my inbox for it and found
nothing). It probably was stripped out by the sympatico mail server as spam.
The reason I asked here was that my package seemed to pass all tests on the
current version and I was honestly confused as to why it was removed. In
addition, I thought others in a similar situation may benefit. Years ago
people here were quite helpful when I first designed the package (and from the
responses many still are). My question was not meant as an attack on you or
your processes, it was honest confusion as to why it was removed.

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been archived.

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
