[R-SIG-Mac] My first package
Hi All, I'm planning to submit my first package to R, and although I read all the documentation, I'm not very clear on the following 2 items, from which I'd appreciate your guidance: 1)I understand it is suggested to use the R dev version to build the package. Which one specifically should I use to build a package on a Mac OS? How about package dependencies, which version should I install on the R dev version (and where should I get them)? 2) Not sure if this one belongs to this list. Does licensing follow the logic of inheritance (i.e. if all the package dependencies of my package are GPL-2 | GPL-3, does my package need to use the same license agreement? Thanks! Axel.

I have a grand total of 2 packages up and I never ever used R-devel, and never ever had a problem, had a report of a problem or had a note from CRAn about my packages not being ok because I built them with R-relase (or whatever it might be called) and not R-devel.

I also build my packages on the release version of R, but I do always first upload to the frankly invaluable win-builder service at http://win-builder.r-project.org - this is mainly to check compatibility/issues under Windows (of which there are frequently several), but also checks for problems against R-devel (of which I don't think I've ever had any). It is also very worthwhile checking the check logs for the current versions of your package on CRAN, as there are often minor issues identified on other systems (particularly solaris).

Incidentally the words 'This should be done with the current version of R-devel (or if that is not possible, current R-patched or the current release of R' translate in plainspeak 'run R CMD check --as-cran with whatever version of R provided it's not outdated'. That's an interesting translation. Are you a CRAN maintainer? I guess you were just lucky so far. Most packages are small and not affected by changes between R-release and R-devel. But some of them are. Also, R-devel typically has more rigorous package checks than R-release. My package was delayed several times because it did not pass checks in R-devel (it did in R-release). I guess this happened to other packages as well, hence the sentence above was included in the policies.
