[R-pkg-devel] Manual inspection of a new CRAN submission

[R. Mark Sharp]

Mauricio,

I appreciate the manual inspection.

I am waiting for the second time on a manual inspection. The first inspection found a fairly severe error of mine where I was writting out an error file to the user’s home directory space. It was code I had written over two years ago and long before I considered submission to CRAN. The code is only exercised with an specific data error when manually exercising the API of the Shiny application included in the package.

I was certainly embarrashed by my error but I am more grateful for the work of Kurt Hornik and Uwe Ligges who found the mistake.
