[R-pkg-devel] file35451f8cc152 found a top level

Dear all,

I am preparing an update to my CRAN package 'spatialwarnings' and fixing the
last issues before submitting it.

I keep running into this type of message arising during checking:

* checking top-level files ... NOTE
Non-standard files/directories found at top level:
   'file35451f8cc152' 'file35451f9d8e7a' 'file3545214f4cdf'
   'file354524b354c4' 'file35452559ca7' 'file354525cb8eb1'
   'file35452a4e4bdd' 'file35452ac564a0' 'file35452ae421b2'
   'file35452d03ad' 'file35452dc8e4d4' 'file354530b2d171'
[snip]

(the complete log is available there: https://pastebin.com/JgyG9SwJ )

This happens for a variety of architectures, R versions and building service
(I tried rhub and win-builder). I am a bit puzzled because the files are
absent from the archive built through R CMD build and from my git tree. I also
added the following pattern to my .Rbuildignore to try to fix the issue:
^file.*$, without success.

I have no idea of what generates these files (the problem does not arise on my
computers). Any hints on how to fix this ?

Thanks in advance and sorry if the question has already been asked (a quick
search returned nothing)

Those look like filenames generated by the tempfile() function.  Those
would normally be in the tempdir() directory.  If you have some
environment variable (TMPDIR, TMP, TEMP) set to ".", they could be
created in the top level of your package.  Alternatively, if you are
using basename() on tempfile() you'll get the same sort of thing.
