Thanks for the answer,
I have some other questions about BiocCheck.
First I get the following warning:
* This is a software package, checking vignette directories...
* ERROR: 'vignettes' directory!
I have my vignettes directory in the inst/doc/vignettes. If I change the
directory and place the vignettes in the top directory I don¹t get an
error from biocCheck, but I get a fatal error from Rcheck.
Secondly:
Checking unit tests...
* NOTE: Consider adding unit tests. We strongly encourage them. See
http://bioconductor.org/developers/how-to/unitTesting-guidelines/.
I read about unit tests, however the package is done and it works fine,
and at the same time I don¹t see how unit tests would benefit me based on
the functions in my package. Are them necessary?
Thirdly, I used the Rdpack for adding references to the roxynen files, but
I get an error from biocCheck that the macro is unknown. Is there another
way of using references in roxygen?
Finally, a question about coding: My longest function is 326 lines long,
and cannot be smaller, is that ok? I get a note in biocCheck. Moreover I
get the following note:
* Checking formatting of DESCRIPTION, NAMESPACE, man pages, R source,
and vignette source...
* NOTE: Consider shorter lines; 4 lines (0%) are > 80 characters
long.
* NOTE: Consider indenting lines with a multiple of 4 spaces; 462
lines (6%) are not.
None of my code cross the 80 character line though and the spaces are
using the double tab that you need.
Best,
