[R-pkg-devel] Linux Errors on RHub

[Steven Scott]

The examples are dual purpose.  They work like unit tests, and they show
humans how the code works.  If you have a separate unit testing section you
can mock out the parts that take a long time (e.g. "get data from...").
Then just put the slow bits in your .Rd files into \dontrun blocks.
