[R-pkg-devel] Lazy data compression for packages without data folder

I don't think those settings apply to that file. Search for "sysdata.rda" in [1].

Hi,  

I just noticed that, last week-end, R CMD build was changed to remove
?LazyData? and
?LazyDataCompression? fields from the ?DESCRIPTION? file of packages
without a ?data?
directory.

Now, in our package "RobAStRDA" published on CRAN in version 1.2.0
2019-03-11, we 
deliberately do have a ?LazyData? field in the ?DESCRIPTION? file of
the package
without a ?data? folder.

This package just contains a sysdata.rda file with a large amount of
interpolation grids
and functions not to be analyzed as statistical data but rather to be
used for speed-ups
in our package "RobExtremes" (also on CRAN).

What is the recommended way to achieve this, i.e., use the sysdata.rda
file in compressed
form and in lazy data format without placing it into a ?data? folder?

Any suggestions welcome,
best regards, Peter (Ruckdeschel)
