#rstats Why does CRAN sometimes not have the compiled version of a library? Doesn't the submission process necessitate compiling for common OSs?

Maintaining an autobuilder is (a lot of) work. All dependencies have to be current, all little build issues have to be sorted oout -- for all 18.4k packages. This is all done by the same volunteers running CRAN so sometimes their delivery of binaries is not within 24 hrs.

Oh, I didn't think about the dependency issue. Interesting!
