[R-pkg-devel] Help with CRAN Submission Feedback

[Reed A. Cartwright]

Dear All,

I submitted a new package ("ironseed") [1] to CRAN. I am not sure how
to address one feedback message or even what is causing it. It might
be related to Kevin Ushey's R scripts that I am using to configure the
package during installation [2]. The message that I received is below.

"""
Please ensure that your functions do not write by default or in your
examples/vignettes/tests in the user's home filespace (including the
package directory and getwd()). This is not allowed by CRAN policies.
Please omit any default path in writing functions. In your
examples/vignettes/tests you can write to tempdir().
-> tools/config.Rtools/config/configure.R
"""

`tools/config.Rtools/config/configure.R` is not a file in my package.
So I assume that this report is saying that it is being created during
installation, but I can't reproduce it. My package does read and
execute `tools/config/configure.R` during installation, so right now
my guess is that my configure script is somehow creating
`tools/config.Rtools/config/configure.R` when I try to read
`tools/config/configure.R`. Any help figuring this out would be
appreciated.
