Thanks, Duncan.


	  In addition to Duncan's comments, I perceive the development version 
of Wickham and Bryan's "R Packages" to be also quite useful:


https://r-pkgs.org


	  To make this simpler for me, I've summarized what I've gotten from 
the CRAN source Duncan mentioned and from Wickham and Bryan in a file 
with a name like "release_to_CRAN.R".  I add such a file to the packages 
I maintain on GitHub, while adding that file name to ".Rbuildignore". 
Anything in ".Rbuildignore" is available to me but is not submitted to 
CRAN.  For an example of the current status of one such file, see:

	  Hope this helps.
