[R-pkg-devel] problem with submitting to CRAN (windows)

[Hugh Parsonage]

Probably a consequence of gtools having build errors
(https://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_gtools.html)

I'd recommend reconsidering use of the package until the problems are
resolved.  In the meantime, put gtools is Suggests for the use of
combinations().  Note the base R functions choose and combn that might
be sufficient (and certainly more available).
