One question is when that file is produced. Do you produce it before preparing the tarball, or is it produced as part of the installation process?

The file was written using writeLines() but it is just a normal R script
with normal function definitions and is included in the R/ directory. The
source code is just programmatically generated.

Packages are supposed to work when mounted in a read-only filesystem...
using writeLines seems like a very bad idea since you can't assume the
package install is writeable when it is run, and running code from tmp is a
security hole.

If you absolutely cannot think of a way around running code from generated
files, then maybe you should use textConnection to run from internal RAM.

I'm running R CMD check for my package {calcite} (source:

a bug.

R CMD check fails at "checking for future file timestamps"

I get this error:  ...Error in if (abs(unclass(now_local) -
unclass(now)[1]) > 300) missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed.

It seems that an NA is being generated somehow during this check but I'm
unsure how.

One thing that comes to mind is that the file that contains all of my
function definitions is generated using writeLines() but the output of `
file.info()` looks normal to me.

Have others encountered this? I'm on R 4.4.0 Puppy Cup
