I am new to CRAN submissions and need assistance. I received this set of error messages previously. I removed all these hidden files before resubmitting my package. They are back. Question #1 How do I prevent this this?
PJO:Desktop PJO$ tar -zcvf Basic.tar.gz Basic Found the following hidden files and directories: .DS_Store .RData .Rhistory ._NAMESPACE .gitignore .travis.yml R/.DS_Store R/._brkdelay.R R/._brkdelay3.R R/._brktrials3.R R/._brktrials3setup.R R/._merge.R R/._merge3.R R/._mergedemo.R R/._plotdesire3.R R/._plotmerge3.R R/._run.R R/._trajectoryab3.R R/._tuxvfix3.R R/._vehid.R R/._xabmerge.R R/._xabmerge3.R data/.DS_Store data/.Rapp.history man/.Rapp.history vignettes/._cartools.Rmd vignettes/.gitignore .Rproj.user .git Finding an answer to this question will be a big help. I performed R CMD check and devtools::build_win() before I submitted the above. For completeness, here are my submit statements. #################################################################################################### From: CRAN submission <cran-sysad...@xmpalantir.wu.ac.at<mailto:cran-sysad...@xmpalantir.wu.ac.at>> Subject: CRAN submission Basic 0.1.0 Date: August 7, 2018 at 11:29:34 AM EDT To: CRAN <cran-submissi...@r-project.org<mailto:cran-submissi...@r-project.org>> Reply-To: Paul J.

I am uploading: Basic.tar.gz. #3 I have instructed the following folder to be ignored: .Rproj.user It is not ignored in GitHub. It contains items that I did not create. This does not seem correct, #4. I receievd a win-builder email stating: Possibly mis-spelled words in DESCRIPTION: cartools (3:8) Unknown, possibly mis-spelled, fields in DESCRIPTION: 'Remotes' The above items are false/postives. I don't understand the following statement. The Title field is just the package name: provide a real title. #5. I am a subscriber but my questions to r-packages-devel bounce. ================================================= Original content of DESCRIPTION file: Package: Basic Type: Package Title: CARTOOLS Package Version: 0.1.0 Author: person("Paul", "Ossenbruggen", email = "p...@unh.edu<mailto:p...@unh.edu>", role = c("aut", "cre")) Maintainer: "Paul J.
