[R-pkg-devel] Question regarding CRAN submission with notes

[Tony Wilkes]

Dear all,

I'm trying to publish an R package to CRAN. Their checks come back with 2 NOTES. The first one is saying that the package is a new submission, and the second one is that there is a subdirectory with a package inside my package. Both notes are correct. I have explained in my submission comments that this is indeed a new submission. I also gave the following explanation for the second note in my submission comments: "There is 1 NOTE given by the R CMD check results. This is due to the fact that I have placed fake libraries with fake packages inside the "inst/tinytest/" folder. This was necessary to test the various import-system related functions in my package. As stated, these are fake packages, and only contain trivial functions of no consequence. These fake libraries with fake packages ONLY exist because it is necessary for proper and extensive unit testing, that is all."

They asked me to fix these notes a few days ago. I replied (politely) repeating my comments a few days ago. I have not heard back from CRAN since. I am assuming that I am missing something, but CRAN won't explain what exactly I am missing.

Here are the NOTES:

Could anyone tell me what exactly I'm doing wrong? Thank you in advance.

Kind regards,
