I getting ready to submit a package to CRAN for the first time. I have run cran_prep <- check_for_cran() using the rhub package. I understand that as a new package it will generate a NOTE. As a novice, I do not know what is to be expected within that NOTE and want to make sure the NOTEs I have received are satisfactory. I have not found an example of a minimal first submission NOTE. Below is what I am getting from the above test on rhub. I have three test environments but only two NOTEs. Do these results indicate a problem to be addressed?
