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

[Gábor Csárdi]

Hi David,

if you only see

install for i386
* installing *source* package 'pense' ...
** using staged installation
[....]
install for x64
* installing *source* package 'pense' ...
** using non-staged installation
[...]

then everything is fine, there is no NOTE here, AFAICT.

If you see a NOTE about this, please post 1) a link to your package,
and 2) a link to the win-builder output.

Thanks,
Gabor
