[R-pkg-devel] Linux Errors on RHub

Wed Apr 24 03:05:42 CEST 2019

Have already done that.  Just to run a couple reasonable examples is taking 12 seconds.  On my laptop from home it is more like 8 seconds,  which if you put in the CRAN note with steps taken they will usually allow.  Again,  so I don't seem like I am criticizing CRAN,  I fully understand their requirement.  However,  ggplot2 is just slow drawing maps and overlaying raster or polygons on that map.  Th package does both base maps and ggplot2 maps.  The former render much faster than the latter. 

Also it is faster  if I just save the graphic to an object and not display it, is that kosher for examples?

Thanks,

-Roy

I have graphics examples overlaying grids on maps using ggplot2.  trying to get those under 5 sec and still have a meaningful example is nigh impossible.  I mean I can make up an example that will be under 5 sec,  but it will neither be illuminating nor testing of anything.  I have even included the test data in the package so that it is faster, (this package maps data from a package that downloads data from a web service)  but I am still not there.  Also the times I get at home are about half of what CRAN or RHub get.

When you have 1000s of package to test on different OS,  if everything takes too long it would be a disaster.  At the same time,  basically the last three days I have been trying to figure out how to get the times down.
