[R-pkg-devel] note
Hi, I am trying to submit a package with a shiny app to cran. I get 2 notes that I don't know how to resolve. I would appreciate very much any suggestions/help. Thanks a lot. It seems the first note is on possibly misspelled words. I am using camel-case to "explain" the name of the app, the app's name itself is mostly capitalized, and the others are either names of objects or the title (Transcriptomics), which I believe should be capitalized... So, I don't really know how to overcome this. With respect to the TRONCO license, I believe the reason for the message is that they included a custom file, but they are also using GPL3 (which I am required to use by my company) I don't see a solution... Then, there are some global variables and things that are only defined under the inst directory. I came about the solution of putting the main part of my app /inst by finding similar solutions on google. I ran into a whole bunch of problems with putting everything under /R and I can create a package etc on GitHub and locally and install them through GitHub or locally. The only caveat is that I had to define these variables to pass the arguments as there are different environments involved... I think I chose the variable names in a way that shouldn't interfere with anything... As you can imagine by now, this is the first package I am submitting and it is quite a daunting task, so I am very sorry to haven't understood by now all the documentation and I am still hoping that the approach I took is viable. 😉 Thanks for taking the time to look into this.

So, I don't really know how to overcome this. Explain in your submission note why you spelled things the way you did. Generally non-English words should be in single quotes; see https://cloud.r-project.org/web/packages/submission_checklist.html. But "sHiny" looks wrong in any case if it is not quoted. With respect to the TRONCO license, I believe the reason for the message is that they included a custom file, but they are also using GPL3 (which I am required to use by my company) I don't see a solution... TRONCO is a Bioconductor package, and isn't declaring its GPL-3 license in the format that CRAN wants. Explain this in your submission note. Then, there are some global variables and things that are only defined under the inst directory.

I think I chose the variable names in a way that shouldn't interfere with anything... Don't create global variables. The global environment is off limits to you. You can have an environment in your package that contains those variables. This one you'll have to change, not just explain like the others.

Regarding the global variables... I found [1] illuminating, in particular the comments on the solution.

[R-pkg-devel] Non-portable flags.
I am working on a revision of my Iso package (which hasn't been revised for quite a while) and have added in registration of Fortran routines that are called directly by .Fortran() in R functions. When I do R CMD check --as-cran Iso_0.0-18.tar.gz I get a "NOTE": Compilation used the following non-portable flag(s): ‘-Wdate-time’ ‘-Werror=format-security’ ‘-Wformat’ After experimenting with building a *.so file directly using SHLIB I discerned that the problem appears to arise from the compilation of the init.c file that I placed in "src" to effect the routine registration: gcc -std=gnu99 -I"/usr/share/R/include" -DNDEBUG -fpic -g -O2 -fdebug-prefix-map=/build/r-base-VAQCff/r-base-3.6.0=. -fstack-protector-strong -Wformat -Werror=format-security -Wdate-time -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -g -c init.c -o init.o I presume that I should do something about this note. (Non-portability is indeed an egregious sin.) How can I tell gcc not to use these flags? Note that the NOTE does not arise unless I use the "--as-cran" flag. Thanks for any insight. cheers, Rolf Turner P.S. I am running Ubuntu 18.04. Happy to supply any further details that might be relevant. R.

Dirk Thanks Dirk. I did an upgrade and the NOTE went away, so I guess that all is well. I'm never sure about upgrading with "sudo apt whatever", so I was a bit apprehensive. For the record I did: sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade r.base The latter took quite a while; 15 or 20 minutes. There's probably something simpler that I could have done, but when you don't know, you don't know. There was no indication that I am now getting version 3.6.0-2; any enquires about the version that I can seem to make indicate version 3.6.0; no "-2" in sight. However, as I said above, it seems to have worked. cheers, Rolf -- Honorary Research Fellow Department of Statistics University of Auckland Phone: +64-9-373-7599 ext. 88276 __ R-package-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-package-devel
