Contributing & Help

Contributions are welcome. The project is open-source and GPL licensed.

The most helpful tasks are to investigate in detail why specific packages failed to build a binary. It usually comes down to a missing system dependency (which is either not declared in the package’s DESCRIPTION file or exotic and must be installed from source) or a C code compile issue.

Please open an issue in the r-package-binaries/support repo.

Note

The actual repo executing the builds (devxy/build-binaries) is hosted in a private git instance to be able to use specific private CI runners and is not easily usable for creating public issues, hence the dedicated repo on GitLab.
