I'm sorry, I should have indeed given a better description. The package I'm seeing the issue with, can be found here : https://github.com/CenterForStatistics-UGent/RCM
The problem becomes visible when opening an RStudio session and running BiocCheck::BiocCheck() (This is a Bioconductor package) > BiocCheck::BiocCheck() This is BiocCheck version 1.18.0. BiocCheck is a work in progress. Output and severity of issues may change. Installing package... * Checking vignette directory... This is a software package # of chunks: 39, # of eval=FALSE: 4 (10%) * Checking version number... Checking version number validity... Package version 0.99.0; pre-release * Checking R Version dependency... * Checking package size... Skipped... only checked on source tarball * Checking individual file sizes... * WARNING: The following files are over 5MB in size: '.git/objects/pack/pack-92e66ff77b78e7fa5121747871adeaa41fb1feb6.pack' ... And at this point I start hitting myself so I can utter an apology and inform you that BiocCheck doesn't check filesize on the installed package but on the original project directory. My mistake, and I should have been more careful before bothering you all.
