It happened for the second time in a week that a Windows binary for a CRAN package was not availabe (Hmisc and quantreg) although the package maintainer would have been willing to try to fix the problems that prevented automatic pre-compilation if he would have realized that there is a problem on Windows. Of course, the information was provided on CRAN, but I thought that it might help to automatically notify the package maintainers if some conflicts occur on Windows. I would appreciate such a notification if one of my packages would have failed to compile...and it is not very unlikely that I wouldn't have discovered it myself.
I already asked Uwe privately and he would be willing to provide a notification but maybe there are concerns or objections from the maintainers? best, Z On Thursday 23 October 2003 17:28, Uwe Ligges wrote: > Radaelli Paolo - Dottorati di Ricerca wrote: > > I saw the read-me but I didn't undersstand wich is the problem.
