Hi,

What is the usual process to submit a new package to CRAN which has 
false-positive warnings?

I submitted rtree_0.2.0 last week (7/21). This package compiles with warnings 
from Boost headers. The warnings are expected, unavoidable, and unimportant, 
which I documented in cran-comments.md. After submitting the package, I got an 
email that the package failed the pre-test due to the warnings. I replied-all, 
pointing to the explanation in cran-comments.md. I haven't heard anything 
since, and the package is still in the archive folder at 
ftp://cran.r-project.org/incoming.

I'm new to this process. Is there something else I should do, or should I just 
sit tight and wait for a response?

Generally I'd sit for a week or so, then send a gentle reminder. It's summer, and people are on holiday, so you might make that 10 days.

Regarding the issues:

Since one of them comes from the BH package rather than yours, you might want to talk to Dirk for advice about it.

The second issue you mention in your comment looks more serious:
"Found 'abort', possibly from 'abort' (C), 'runtime' (Fortran) Found 'exit', possibly from 'exit' (C), 'stop' (Fortran) Found 'printf', possibly from 'printf' (C)".

Your response that you don't call 'abort', 'exit' or 'printf' isn't sufficient here: those functions appear to have been linked in to your DLL, so somebody is calling them. I'd try to track down those calls and see if there's a way to compile without them.
