Hi, I created a package as follows:
> a = 1 > package.skeleton() Then I got the following output when building the package: * checking for file ‘anRpackage/DESCRIPTION’ ... OK * preparing ‘anRpackage’: * checking DESCRIPTION meta-information ... OK * checking for LF line-endings in source and make files * checking for empty or unneeded directories * looking to see if a ‘data/datalist’ file should be added * building ‘anRpackage_1.0.tar.gz’ Warning: invalid uid value replaced by that for user 'nobody' Warning: invalid uid value replaced by that for user 'nobody' Warning: invalid uid value replaced by that for user 'nobody' Warning: invalid uid value replaced by that for user 'nobody' Warning: invalid uid value replaced by that for user 'nobody' Warning: invalid uid value replaced by that for user 'nobody' Warning: invalid uid value replaced by that for user 'nobody' One thing to note is that I am logged in as 'pkgbuild' and R was installed by the user 'biocbuild'. I explicitly point to the R that was installed by 'biocbuild' when building the package above. (I used the command "~biocbuild/bbs-2.13-bioc/R/bin/R CMD build anRpackage"). There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the ownership of the files in anRpackage: $ ls -lR anRpackage anRpackage: total 20 drwxr-xr-x 2 pkgbuild users 4096 Sep 23 12:42 data -rw-r--r-- 1 pkgbuild users 283 Sep 23 12:42 DESCRIPTION drwxr-xr-x 2 pkgbuild users 4096 Sep 23 12:42 man -rw-r--r-- 1 pkgbuild users 31 Sep 23 12:42 NAMESPACE -rw-r--r-- 1 pkgbuild users 420 Sep 23 12:42 Read-and-delete-me anRpackage/data: total 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 pkgbuild users 59 Sep 23 12:42 a.rda anRpackage/man: total 8 -rw-r--r-- 1 pkgbuild users 1051 Sep 23 12:42 anRpackage-package.Rd -rw-r--r-- 1 pkgbuild users 503 Sep 23 12:42 a.Rd These warnings did not appear with an earlier version of R-patched (r63824).
