[R-pkg-devel] check_rhub NOTEs

Hi Everyone,

I got the NOTEs listed below from the Windows Server 2022, R-devel, 64 bit when I ran devtools::check_rhub() on an undated version of a package that I plan to submit to CRAN.  There were no problems on either Fedora Linux or Ubuntu Linux.  Any thoughts on a solution, or can I ignore these NOTEs and take the next steps towards submission?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best,

Vonn Walter


* checking sizes of PDF files under 'inst/doc' ... NOTE

Unable to find GhostScript executable to run checks on size reduction

* checking for detritus in the temp directory ... NOTE

Found the following files/directories:
  'lastMiKTeXException'

AFAIK these are harmless.

   * It seems unlikely that your vignette PDFs would be OK on Linux but 
too large under Windows.

   * the last thing is I think a known false positive, but I can't find 
the posts on this list ...

Also you can use winbuilder which is the same setup as CRAN uses for the 
checks.

And devtools provides a helper for that too: devtools::check_win_devel()
