I was similarly bitten a couple of days ago when I submitted an update
of my deldir package. I'm *pretty* sure that I completed all the
requisite steps in the steps in the web-based submission procedure, but
I never received the promised "confirmation email". Being a thicko, I
overlooked this fact, and started to wonder why the update never
appeared on CRAN. Eventually I got my act together, went over the
instructions and re-submitted the package. This time I got the
confirmation email, and the update duly appeared on CRAN.
Maybe there's a buglet in the software that effects the automated
submission procedure. I would have said it's more likely that I
fumble-fingered something in my initial submission attempt. However,
hearing that someone else has had a similar experience makes me a wee
bit more suspicious that there's a bug. Could be tricky to track down
but, given that if there is a bug its effect is intermittent and rare.

P. S. On my second try, the confirmation email arrived essentially
instantaneously. So I would advise package submitters: if you don't
get the confirmation email *right away* then something has very likely
gone wrong. Check the site ftp://CRAN.R-project.org/incoming/ as
advised and if your package ain't there, try again.

From http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/policies.html:
"When submitting a package to CRAN you should use the submission form
at http://CRAN.R-project.org/submit.html (and not send an email). You
will be sent a confirmation email which needs to be accepted.(*)
...
In either case, you can check that the submission was received by
looking at ftp://CRAN.R-project.org/incoming/.";
(*) That confirmation email is sent automatically and instantaneously.
It confirms you as a maintainer and the submission (not the
acceptance).

Hi,
I am the maintainer of the "traj" package.
I have added a vignette to the package this week(Wednesday) and uploaded
the new tarball to CRAN.
I have not yet received a confirmation e-mail.I do not know if the e-mail
is sent automatically or if a person needs to approve manually. I am just
wondering if I did everything correctly
or if there is a mistake in my uploading procedure.
The CRAN people make the decisions manually, so it may just be that nobody
has got to it yet. If you don't hear from them in a week, you might
consider writing to the submission email address, but I wouldn't do it
sooner than that.
