[R-pkg-devel] Note about "No repository set, so cyclic dependency check skipped"

[Antonio José Saez Castillo]

All my attempts to do that have failed. That is because I tried to check in
R-devel on win-builder site (win-builder.r-project.org), far from my local
computer, and it got the same note. So, I think it may be not a problem
only in my own PC.
