attempting to run the vignette code. (If it was not this, then there was
some other magic I don't understand.)
Now, when I specify --as-cran, the checks fail when attempting to check
R code from vignettes, even though I have "BuildVignettes: false" in the
DESCRIPTION file.
Paul, it says "BuiltVignettes" rather than "CheckVignettes".
If you want CRAN to disable those checks for some very good reason,
please tell the CRAN maintainers, they will move your package to the
exclude list for vignette checking.
Best,

What is the mechanism for indicating that CRAN should not attempt to
check this code? Perhaps it is intentionally difficult - I can see an
argument for that. (For running tests there are environment variables,
e.g._R_CHECK_HAVE_MYSQL_, but using these really clutters up a vignette,
and it did not seem necessary to use them before.)
(The difficult also occurs on R-forge, possibly because it is using
--as-cran like settings.)
