[R-pkg-devel] How to fix: non-standard things in the check directory: 'NUL' ?

[Friedemann von Lampe]

Thanks. Thankfully Ivan looked up the source package 
(https://github.com/fvlampe/goeveg) and his response previously on this 
list solved the problem for CRAN. I simply needed to change the argument 
from  'NUL' to NULL. The package was now successfully submitted.

However, in R-hub the NOTE remains, which apparently is is one of their 
problems.
