[R-pkg-devel] compiling and executing binaries while testing

[code M]

hi, i am sorry if this has been asked already,
but i could not find an answer.

in short: am i allowed to download, compile and
execute (github) packages while testing?

reason for this: the package i develop is a simple
'bridge', the goal is to allow users to easily access
(commonly used or their own) machine learning
binaries (like LIBSVM). obviously i will not add any
kind of binary to the package itself, but on the other
hand i cannot test the functionality of the package
without having a binary. therefore it seems most
reasonable to compile the binary while testing and
delete it afterwards.

are there any objections to this procedure?

thanks & all the best,
aydin
