Thank you for your answer and sorry for skipping over this detail of
checking with R-devel and not the current version of R.

I wonder if checking with R-devel on this page is fine:

http://win-builder.r-project.org/upload.aspx

Thanks,

Corentin

Yes, follow the CRAN policies:

'Please ensure that R CMD check --as-cran has been run on the tarball to be
uploaded before submission. This should be done with the current version of
R-devel (or if that is not possible, current R-patched or the current
release of R.)'

The check of Authors@R is in R-devel only, and requires --as-cran.
