Existing notes/warnings for CRAN checks:
WARN for r-devel-windows-x86_64-new-TK:
- Found the following Makefile(s) with CR or CRLF line endings: src/Makevars
I have confirmed numerous times and in multiple ways (e.g. with dos2unix) that the Makevars file in the submitted source package has LF line endings. I do not get this warning when I build on my own Windows or Linux systems, or on any other platform. Thus I believe this warning can be ignored, but would appreciate any guidance otherwise.
NOTE for r-devel-windows-x86_64-new-TK:
- Found the following sources/headers with CR or CRLF line endings: src/RcppExports.cpp ... (a few other .cc files)
The source/header files reported to have CRLF line endings are not in the source package and are auto-generated by rstantools at build time, possibly in a platform-specific way that results in CRLF line endings only when built on Windows. Because this NOTE does not appear on Linux or Mac builds I think it can be safely ignored.
NOTES for all versions:
-
Result: NOTE GNU make is a SystemRequirements.
-
Check: installed package size Result: NOTE installed size is 46.7Mb
These NOTES I believe are unavoidable for this package.
- Local: Ubuntu 18.04 (R-release), Windows (R-release)
- Github actions CI: Ubuntu 20.04 R-release, Ubuntu 20.04 R-devel, Ubuntu 20.04 R-oldrel, Windows R-release, MacOS R-release
This release hopefully fixes all outstanding issues in CRAN checks
- Fixed 1 overly sensitive test that failed on Solaris
- Fixed use of unsigned int in C++ code that was causing clang-UBSAN errors
- Fix NOTE about plot method not in NAMESPACE on R-oldrel
- Fixed two tests so they check if object is "matrix" instead of "array" (failed on R-oldrel)
- Fixed test that wrongly assumed stringsAsFactors=FALSE (failed on R-oldrel)
- Local: Ubuntu 18.04 (R-release, R-devel with UBSAN), Windows (R-release)
- Github actions CI: Ubuntu 20.04 R-release, Ubuntu 20.04 R-devel, Ubuntu 20.04 R-oldrel, Windows R-release, MacOS R-release
There were no ERRORs or WARNINGs.
There were 2 NOTEs:
- checking installed package size ... NOTE installed size is 63.0Mb sub-directories of 1Mb or more: R 1.4Mb libs 60.6Mb
As per the guidelines for developing R packages that interface with Stan (https://mc-stan.org/rstantools/articles/developer-guidelines.html), all Stan models I have developed for this package are pre-compiled when the package is built. This allows the models to be run on Mac/Windows without a C++ compiler available and speeds up model runtime at the cost of increasing installed package size. I have followed suggested best practices to combine my models into as few Stan model files as possible to speed up compilation and minimize size.
- checking for GNU extensions in Makefiles ... NOTE GNU make is a SystemRequirements.
I believe GNU make is required to use Rcpp and compiled Stan code.
