But 91% and 93% use packages on their respective repos. 8% and 3% do not have any dependency on external packages (but could depend on system dependencies).

Ralf StubnerToday version 0.3.2 of the swephR package for R made it unto CRAN. Main reason for the upgrade was that CRAN had found a new WARNING by also inspecting the intermediate static library file. Instead of patching the upstream sources, I opted for deleting the library after building the the symbolic library for the package. It does not help anybody when code is inspected that is not actually used.Two things were really nice: * The warning message displayed at <a href="https://cran.r-project.org/package=swephR" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://cran.r-project.org/package=swephR</a> disappeared even before all test machines had build the new version. Probably once the first tests of previously failing tests came in. * This package suggests a larger data package, that is only available on r-universe. Therefore, there had always been one NOTE, which meant manual inspection when submitting. Now this NOTE has been demoted to INFO, which goes through automatically, speeding up the process and leaving less work for the CRAN maintainers.<a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/rstats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rstats</a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/CRAN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CRAN</a>

Lluís RevillaFYI: 14% of <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/CRAN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CRAN</a> links require knowing alias present on the libraries to resolve them. 80% of links to duplicated targets are present on the package. Which results on just 3% of links in packages being ambiguos (I expected more).In related news, just 5 packages have different documentation for unix and windows! One of them breaks my <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/rstats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rstats</a> link resolver...

Data ScienceSometimes (often) one ends up needing to run older versions of R using older versions of packages.

coolbutuselessIdea: Can we as package developers (as a group) decide on a standard file in which to store all historical communication with CRAN?CRAN-correspondence.txt ?I don't mean any sanitized high-level summary, I mean a record of every CRAN interaction about your package submission.
