Hi,
I have tried to submit my new package
https://github.com/sgsokol/r2sundials to CRAN but submission seems to be
dismissed.
The package needs a third part software
https://computing.llnl.gov/projects/sundials/cvodes so it cannot be
built on CRAN automatically. I explained this (and how the package was
tested by myself) in the submitter's comment (cf. hereafter) and second
time in the reply to all (as was requested) to automatic message from
CRAN announcing the building failure but to no avail. The submission was
done on November 25, more than two weeks later I still don't have any
response and the package is no more in incoming/ dir on cran ftp site. I
conclude that this submission is dismissed.
My question is: what can be reasonably done to make a package like this
(i.e. depending on third part software not available on CRAN) to be
accepted? Or may be the current policy: all new package must
automatically build. Period. In my case it can imply ~20 MB additional
space (source code + libs).
Thanks in advance for any hint.
Serguei.
Submitter's comment: Dear CRAN team,
I submit package r2sundials which
depends on a third part software
from
https://computing.llnl.gov/projects/sundials/cvodes
This
is the reason for which it will not automatically
build on your test systems. But on my side, I could
successfully run 'R CMD check --as-cran' on Linux
(R-3.6.1, gcc8), MacOS Catalina (R-3.6.1, Apple
clang-1100.0.33.12) and Windows 10 (R-devel r77430,
gcc-4.9.3). If you wish, I can send you reports from
these runs. Even if it is improbable, but if you
decide to run such checks manually by your self,
installation instructions are available
on
https://github.com/sgsokol/r2sundials
Moreover,
winbuilder signals:
