**Please Note: Email below was bounced back (rejected by the Packages email list moderator), so please do not ask me to submit to r-packages@r-project.org<mailto:r-packages@r-project.org>. Members, I recently submitted my first package to the submissions ftp site on CRAN (7.3.09). The package has remained on the server since with no action? Do package review/updates occur monthly? When I submitted, I sent an email to CRAN to let them know about the package and the license under which the package operates. Since this is my first time, I am just trying to understand the process. Any elaboration about how long the process takes or whether I failed to meet the submission process, etc. would be helpful. I have referenced the package in one published article and in another article to be published later this year. I would like to direct people to CRAN but now I am not sure how long the process is or whether my package will be accepted for posting to the CRAN mirrors. Thank you in advance for any comments you make, Michael Gates Experimental Psychology University Of North Texas Denton, TX 76201 michael.gates@unt.edu<mailto:michael.gates@unt.edu> [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Kurt Hornik is currently out of office and will be back soon. Moreover, CRAN was also unmanned in repspect to all other issues since all other CRAN maintainers have been attending useR! and/or DSC conferences. Just a bit more patience, CRAN will be in regular duty soon.

It usually gets uploaded within a day if it passes all the checks run by Kurt Hornik. Then the Windows version gets built within the next 24 hours as well.

These days however are in the at most once per year period where "usually" does not apply : Summer vacation do apply even to CRAN maintainers, and I am glad to note that at least some people are still taking the term "vacation" seriously..
