[R-pkg-devel] fixing problems in submitted R package

[Vitor Hugo Moreau]

Hello, all.

I have submitted a R package and it returns some NOTES from the automatic
checks. It is the first time I create and deposit a package so I would like
to know what to do. My package was built with Rstudio and it gave some of
these NOTES too, bby I don't know how to solve them.
These are the NOTES:

1.
The build time stamp is missing.

2.
* checking CRAN incoming feasibility ... NOTE
Maintainer: ‘The package maintainer <vitorhmc using ufba.br>’

"I don't even know what is wrong here, this is my professional email.
Should I just ignore it?"

3.
* checking DESCRIPTION meta-information ... NOTE
Checking should be performed on sources prepared by ‘R CMD build’.

4.
checking R code for possible problems ... [4s/4s] NOTE

likelihood: no visible binding for global variable ‘xi’
likelihood: no visible binding for global variable ‘yi’
weibull4.fit: no visible binding for '<<-' assignment to ‘xi’
weibull4.fit: no visible binding for '<<-' assignment to ‘yi’
weibull4.fit: no visible binding for global variable ‘yi’
weibull4.fit: no visible binding for global variable ‘xi’
Undefined global functions or variables:
  xi yi

"There are two variable defined globally (xi and yi) and they are used
for some - not all - functions. Is this really a problem or can I
ignore it too?"

5.
* checking Rd files ... NOTE

"Is it a real problem to drop some empty sections in some MAN files. These
functions will not be direct used by users"

Thank you a lot and sorry for so basic questions.
