Re: [R-pkg-devel] Change package maintainer
Thanks Uwe for answering, I have a question related to changing maintainers. What happens when the old/current maintainer does not respond to emails or other methods of contact? Would the new maintainer need to wait until the package is removed from CRAN to submit it again? Best, Lluís PS: Not sure if my related question should be in another thread or not.

Both ways are fine with us, but the auto confirmation request will be sent out in any case.

Hi there, I have recently uploaded the first version of my R package to CRAN. As it is part of my final degree project, I need to change the maintainer to my supervisor, now that I have finished the project. I changed in the DESCRIPTION file the proper data to do so, but when receiving back the email from CRAN the only NOTE I have is this one: * checking CRAN incoming feasibility ...

[R-pkg-devel] gettext on Solaris
My new submission potools failed on Solaris: https://www.r-project.org/nosvn/R.check/r-patched-solaris-x86/potools-00check.html Likely reason is that one or more of the SystemRequirements are missing (I put gettext as a catchall in the DESCRIPTION but more specifically it needs msgfmt, msgmerge, msginit and msgconv). WRE mentions tests/examples should run without error when command-line tools are unavailable, so I've added some escapes, but nevertheless I'm a bit puzzled -- I expected these requirements would be easy to handle since tools::update_pkg_po() has the same requirements. Am I right that R's own default packages may be only partially functional on CRAN checks?
