[R-pkg-devel] CRAN incoming checks fail due to non-staged installation

[David Kepplinger]

Thank you, Max, for the clarification.
I have added the option "StagedInstall: yes" to the DESCRIPTION file, but
it doesn't seem to be forcing a staged installation for x64 on Windows. I
get the same NOTE now from winbuilder, but with more explanation which
could help isolate the problem:

install for i386
* installing *source* package 'pense' ...
** using staged installation
[...]
install for x64
* installing *source* package 'pense' ...
not using staged install with --libs-only
** using non-staged installation
[...]


Best,
David
