You should specify which packages you feel are not available that should be available. The two references you made were to two efforts at building packages. One of them (re: ChemmineR) was a warning, not a report of failure. And it was not a warning about a missing CRAN hosted package but rather a warning about C code in the package itself: --- * checking whether package ‘ChemmineR’ can be installed ... WARNING Found the following significant warnings: r_wrap.cc:1689:14: warning: explicitly assigning value of variable of type 'void *' to itself [-Wself-assign] See ‘/Users/biocbuild/bbs-3.7-bioc/meat/ChemmineR.Rcheck/00install.out’ for details. --- The other ( re: cbaf) was a report of error, but the error was the absence on the build machine of the 'xlsx'-package. Why that package is missing on that particular machine is surely not something that the maintainers of the Mac fork can be expected to know. That package has been available on CRAN for many years and continues to be available. Its Package Description file does not indicate any need for compilation. -- David. > > -- > Alexey > > On Fri, Feb 23, 2018 at 8:01 PM, David Winsemius <dwinsem...@comcast.net> > wrote: > > > On Feb 19, 2018, at 12:27 PM, Alexey Sergushichev <alserg...@gmail.com> > > wrote: > > > > Dear all, > > > > Are there any plans on having package build for r-devel on CRAN?
