| Members,
| I recently submitted my first package to the submissions ftp site on CRAN (7.3.09). The package has remained on the server since with no action? Do package review/updates occur monthly? When I submitted, I sent an email to CRAN to let them know about the package and the license under which the package operates. Since this is my first time, I am just trying to understand the process.

I have referenced the package in one published article and in another article to be published later this year. I would like to direct people to CRAN but now I am not sure how long the process is or whether my package will be accepted for posting to the CRAN mirrors.

You simply hit the summer vacation of the CRAN masters.

This is the summer month in the northern hemisphere, and we expect the
faithful daily service of our (unpaid to boot!) CRAN masters to resume within
a matter of days.

So in sum: please don't be too impatient with a free volunteer service.

Cheers, Dirk
