Hi,

I have a question regarding the Bioconductor source control repository. I was wondering whether I should upload the original sources or the built version of a package. I could not find the answer anywhere, and the reason I am asking this is that I get the following warning from the daily BioC 2.11 build/check report during the check:

checking data for ASCII and uncompressed saves ... WARNING

  Note: significantly better compression could be obtained
        by using R CMD build --resave-data

I currently commit the sources to the SVN before building them. If I build the package using the --resave-data option and then run R CMD check it, the warning does not show anymore. Should I rather commit the built version of the package to the svn, in oder to get rid of the warning, or is this nothing severe anyways?

Thanks,

Juliane

You should use tools::resaveRdaFiles to fix this.  You do

library(tools)
save(object, file = "object.rda")
resaveRdaFiles("object.rda")

then the new rda file is saved as compressed as possible, and you can
commit this rda file to the source repository.
