[R-pkg-devel] Non-standard things in the check directory

[Gábor Csárdi]

Just realized that nobody replied to this. So this seems to be a bug
in `R CMD check --as-cran`, it does not ignore the arch specific
examples and tests directories and files. It happens as well if you
run your check on a local windows, not just on R-hub.

Should I open a bug for this?

There is an env var for it called _R_CHECK_THINGS_IN_CHECK_DIR_, but
--as-cran overrides that, so there is not much we can do about it on
R-hub.

Right now this NOTE does not show up in new package submissions, new
package submission probably do not use `--as-cran`, but they set up
their own configuration, which might look like this:
https://svn.r-project.org/R-dev-web/trunk/CRAN/QA/Uwe/make/incoming_env.bat

Summary: you'll have to ignore this NOTE for now on R-hub and on your machines.
