How to post R packages on cran

Here's the procedure for reference: upload the .tar.gz file, using ‘anonymous’ as log-in name and your e-mail address as password, to ftp://CRAN.R-project.org/incoming/ (note: use ‘ftp’ and not ‘sftp’ to connect to this server, and passive ‘ftp’ is more often successful) and send a message to CRAN@R-project.org about it (with your package name and version in the subject line of the form “CRAN submission package version”, and please do not submit a package by email). For a new submission, please note in the message that you have read and agreed to the CRAN policies.
