Hello everyone, Is there a mechanism to report a bug in someone package? I plan to email the author, but I was wondering if there is an official way like the issue function in github. Thank you, Charles-?douard Charles-?douard Gigu?re Analyste statisticien Centre de recherche de l?Institut universitaire en sant? mentale de Montr?al (CR-IUSMM) 514?251-4015, poste 3516
Not all packages are developed on github, and CRAN itself only supports the maintainer function. However, sometimes the package DESCRIPTION file (shown on the CRAN package details page) will point you to a version control website such as GitHub for communicating with the maintainer.

If this is in reference to a package on CRAN then go to its CRAN home page, for example, https://cran.r-project.org/package=sqldf and then look for a BugReports line on that page to find where to report bugs. If there is no such line check the URL line and if it points to a github URL then use the issues on github. Otherwise, send an email to the maintainer listed on the Maintainer line.

It should either follow the link designated by the package maintainer to report bugs, or open your mail app to contact the maintainer. -- Best regards, Ivan
