Hello, When submitting a package to the Comprehensive R Archive Network (CRAN), one requirement for eventual acceptance is novelty of the package and its workings (i.e., functions, etc.).
That is, a package's contribution cannot be trivial. The flowchart found here explains things pictorially: https://github.com/edgararuiz/cran-stages Many R packages contain functions found in other packages. These functions are not necessarily distinct from those in older R packages. *What then is meant by 'sufficient merit' of an incoming R package?* I realize this question is likely to be opinion-based, but it is one that grabbed my attention nonetheless. Thanks. Cheers, Jarrett [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-package-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-package-devel
