[R-pkg-devel] CRAN Packages over 5 MB & Time Length for Manual Inspection

[EcoC2S - Irucka Embry]

Ben, thank you for your response.

The text2sdg package was added on 24 January 2023.

I had created a drat repository called USA.state.boundaries.data to 
store the full set of maps (1 of which is needed for my iemisc package) 
and I had only a subset of the maps in the USA.state.boundaries package 
which appears on CRAN.

In order to submit the revised iemisc package to CRAN, I had to add the 
map data set from USA.state.boundaries.data which iemisc requires for 
key functions to the USA.state.boundaries package. I first tried to 
submit the revised USA.state.boundaries package with the map that iemisc 
requires to CRAN back in December 2022. I exchanged some e-mails with 
Uwe prior to the holiday break.
