Thank you, Dirk. This was a direct email from a CRAN member and not part of

message is "please resubmit."


Well, the CRAN maintainer has not spotted this is abour rust code. This 
was not indicated in your mail, hence you got  direct rejection.

Best,
Uwe Ligges





Thanks, we see:


    Size of tarball: 18099770 bytes



Please reudce to less than 5 MB for a CRAN package.



Best,


Yes, prqlr is a great Rust-based package! My other Rust based packages that
are on CRAN are based, in part on prqlr.

Are you by chance confusing a NOTE (issued, but can be overruled) with a
WARNING (more severe, likely a must-be-addressed) or ERROR?

There are lots and lots of packages larger than 5mb -- see eg

    https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/?C=S;O=D

which has a top-5 of

    rcdklibs       19mb
    fastrmodels    15mb
    prqlr          15mb
    RFlocalfdr     14mb
    acss.data      14mb

and at least one of those is also Rust-using and hence a possible template.
