title: 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`](https://gitlab.com/devxy/r-package-binaries/support) repo.

::: {.callout-note}
The actual repo executing the builds ([devxy/build-binaries](https://git.devxy.io/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.
