Ross, R CMD build is the only offical way to build a (source) package in R. All other "tools" are just convenience wrappers [....] Please note that CRAN has nothing to do with any of the above - a package submitted to CRAN is the resulting package source tar ball which the author created by calling R CMD build - CRAN is not involved in the source package creation, it only requires it to be created with R CMD build for submission. Whether you desire some pre-processing, before you call R CMD build yourself, it's up to you. Cheers, Simon --------------------------------------- Is it required that the package submitted to CRAN have been built with R CMD build rather than some other tool? When you say "CRAN has nothing to do with any of the above [different tools]" it sounds as if one can use anything; but "a package submitted to CRAN is ... created by calling R CMD build" sounds as if that's mandatory.
