I've been assuming the logic was to run R CMD check first and then R CMD INSTALL. I don't think check uses the installed version, so I guess it doesn't matter, but is there some other reason for doing install before check? (Or are you just distinguishing development mode
I usually want to check things run before I worry that the documentation is correct, and R CMD check starts with lots of checks that are irrelevant until the code parses and runs some simple examples.
from the normal mode once a package is developed?) Paul Gilbert
