[R-pkg-devel] File name error

[Uwe Ligges]

This is a new check:

You must not write into the user's filespace without explicit agreement 
by the user (by specifying path/name).

Note that some users won't even have permissions to write into the 
package's installation directory if that is set up site wide by an 
admin, for example.

So please use tempdir() in the examples.

Best,
Uwe Ligges

Mine was related to me writing a file (or rather trying to write) in a working directory other than tempdir (can be retrieved by tempdir()). I now write it to tempdir and then set the old working directory again at the end of the example. Perhaps that is somehow helpful for your case too?
