Hi all,
R CMD check --as-cran now runs \donttest examples .
So what is the right way to avoid it, and what is the right way for
submission to CRAN.
Why are you listing the examples as \donttest? If it's because they
will fail on CRAN, wouldn't they fail on a user's system? Then you
should fix the examples so they don't fail.
If you marked them that way because they violate some CRAN policy (e.g.
writing to a user's home directory), then you should fix them. Those
policies are there to protect users.
If you marked them that way because they take too long to run, then it
seems like CRAN shouldn't complain about the run time. I don't know if
they do or not.
They do not, CRAN does not run --run-donttest examples regularly, only
occassionally to see if these work, too. We do not complain about
--run-donttest runtime unless it takes hours and it is unclear whoi is
supposed to ever look at the examples then.
Best,
Uwe Ligges
