Welcome!
The CRAN Cookbook is a complementary self-service guide to discover solutions to common CRAN submission issues.
Welcome to the CRAN Cookbook, your go-to guide for solving common (and often recurring) issues spotted by CRAN volunteers during package submissions and re-submissions. Here, you’ll find practical “recipes” organized by different parts of the package structure (e.g., issues with the DESCRIPTION file can be found in the Description chapter). The CRAN Cookbook is curated by Jasmine Daly and Beni Altmann, with guidance from a steering committee of experts: Heather Turner, Bettina Grün, and Gwynn Gebeyehu. We encourage contributions from the community!
