[R-pkg-devel] puzzling CRAN rejection

OK, thanks.

   I did notice this in passing (I think), but I got confused by the 
format.  (Also, it doesn't even rise to the level of a NOTE ...)

   It took me a while to localize the problem (line numbers have to be 
computing _after_ throwing away the R header info, see source code of 
tools::Rdiff()).

    Having spent this long reading tea leaves, I think I'm going to 
write to the CRAN maintainers for clarification.

   * Refactoring all the tests to decrease the testing time 
significantly is certainly possible (at worst I can make a lot of stuff 
conditionally skipped on CRAN), but would be a nuisance that I'd rather 
save for the next release if possible.

   * Eliminating the two lines of variable output is easy, but it's 
mildly annoying to update the version number for this small a correction 
...

   Looks like from now on there will only be odd-numbered releases of 
lme4 on CRAN, since I seem guaranteed to make trivial errors with my 
first (odd-numbered) try each time and have to bump the version number 
when fixing them ...
