Have you tried to write to CRAN@... and ask if thirs party software can be installed on CRAN?
No, I didn't. I presumed that CRAN team had other things to do than to install any soft that package authors could need. But if this is an option, I will try this approach next time. For this one, I integrated a subset of sundials soft in the package and it turned out to be far less then 20 MB (which is the size I had on my system for the whole set of cvodes library and its dependencies). The tarball is only 270 KB and compiled libraries on some systems can be up to 7 MB and far less on others (e.g. on my linux, compiled without "-g" flag, the whole size of $RHOME/library/r2sundial is under 2 MB). Just now, it is pending a manual inspection. I hope that library size will not be a problem.

Anyway, I appreciate the hint. Thanks.

Hi,

I have tried to submit my new package https://github.com/sgsokol/r2sundials to CRAN but submission seems to be dismissed. The package needs a third part software https://computing.llnl.gov/projects/sundials/cvodes so it cannot be built on CRAN automatically. I explained this (and how the package was tested by myself) in the submitter's comment (cf. hereafter) and second time in the reply to all (as was requested) to automatic message from CRAN announcing the building failure but to no avail. The submission was done on November 25, more than two weeks later I still don't have any response and the package is no more in incoming/ dir on cran ftp site. I conclude that this submission is dismissed.

My question is: what can be reasonably done to make a package like this (i.e. depending on third part software not available on CRAN) to be accepted? Or may be the current policy: all new package must automatically build. Period. In my case it can imply ~20 MB additional space (source code + libs).

Thanks in advance for any hint.
Serguei.

Submitter's comment: Dear CRAN team,

I submit package r2sundials which
   depends on a third part software
   from
https://computing.llnl.gov/projects/sundials/cvodes
This
   is the reason for which it will not automatically
   build on your test systems. But on my side, I could
   successfully run 'R CMD check --as-cran' on Linux
   (R-3.6.1, gcc8), MacOS Catalina (R-3.6.1, Apple
   clang-1100.0.33.12) and Windows 10 (R-devel r77430,
   gcc-4.9.3). If you wish, I can send you reports from
   these runs. Even if it is improbable, but if you
   decide to run such checks manually by your self,
   installation instructions are available
   on
https://github.com/sgsokol/r2sundials

Moreover,
   winbuilder signals:
Possibly mis-spelled words in
   DESCRIPTION:
   CVODES (3:34)
   Hindmarsh (9:803)
   Rcpp (3:8, 9:285)
   al (9:816)
   cvodes (9:47)
   et (9:813)
   rmumps (9:501)
These all are false
   positives designating software, R packages and
   bibliographic reference.
