[R-pkg-devel] Package submission error

[Zhian N. Kamvar]

There are two problems:

1. CRAN is flagging two words as misspelled (even though they are valid 
words in the OED, which is notoriously perscriptive).
2. "Writes to user library" --- This is the violation; an example in 
your package is trying to write to a folder in the user's library.

If you look at the check page: 
https://cran-archive.r-project.org/web/checks/2021/2021-01-13_check_results_ftrCOOL.html 
(linked on the archived page), you see this:

     > dir = tempdir()
     > PredDisdir<-system.file("testForder",package="ftrCOOL")
     >
     > PredDisdir<-paste0(PredDisdir,"/Disdir/")
     > ad1<-paste0(dir,"/disorderB.txt")
     >
     > 
mat<-DisorderB(PredDisdir,binaryType="strBin",outFormat="txt",outputFileDist=ad1)
     Warning in file(con, "w") :
      cannot open file 
'/home/hornik/tmp/R.check/r-devel-clang/Work/build/Packages/ftrCOOL/extdata/tempTable.txt': 
Read-only file system
     Error in file(con, "w") : cannot open the connection
     Calls: DisorderB -> readDisDir -> writeLines -> file
     Execution halted

I think you can fix it by using tempfile() or tempdir() for the ad1 object.

Hope that helps,
Zhian
