[R-pkg-devel] Issue with non-standard file 'vert.txt' in R CMD check

[Duncan Murdoch]

Without seeing your package, I don't think anyone could help you, other 
than very generic help:  "Find what is creating that file, and figure 
out how to stop it."

If you submit your package to one of the online check services (e.g. 
https://win-builder.r-project.org/) then you could post a link to their 
results here, and someone could possibly figure it out for you.
