The CRAN submission process seems in need of a massive overhaul. Why has this process not been automated yet? ? Patrick Perry Assistant Professor NYU Stern School of Business
In the interests of, well, everyone, I will just mention that this is the wrong list. CRAN != R Core and asking questions about CRAN is OT for this list as this is for topics related to developing R, the software. You should address CRAN questions to the CRAN maintainers, but I suggest you don't in this instance as these discussions have happened before. Instead, take a look at R-Hub: https://www.r-consortium.org/funded-projects, which aims to provide some of the automated tools you might require in an automated process. CRAN will still be CRAN, but with R-Hub in place package authors should know well ahead of uploading to CRAN what problems they might encounter and can fix them.

Hi, Gavin et al.:
Thanks for mentioning these new initiatives.
What's the current status of R-Hub and the current advice
regarding trying to migrate from R-Forge to R-Hub?
I ask, because I've complained to R-Forge maintainers 9 times
since 2015-07-26 about various problems. A problem I complained about
2016-05-06 has still not been solved, in spite of multiple interventions
by the R-Forge team.
Thanks,
Spencer Graves
