Hello everyone,
I would like to ask what's the maximum for installed package size. The thing
is, I would like to publish a package that contains, sure, a set of functions,
but also a very nice data set concerning meteorological data. That data set is
required for wind farm layout optimization, a topic the entire package deals
with.
Now, if I have RStudio check my package, it reports correctly that the package
size is 65.9 MB (which is the size of the tarball), but the uncompressed size
is 118.8 MB (which is also correct as is roughly matches the size of the .RData
file). The package uses lazyload. Using the RStudio check mechanism, I get zero
errors, zero warnings and one note, namely the one concerning installed package
size. If I use devtools::check(); I even get a warning at "checking data for
ASCII and uncompressed saves", reporting the same (correct) sizes.
I would like to know what's the maximum size and if there's a way around that
limit. I also think to remember that I've downloaded other rather large
packages from CRAN before. Unfortunately, I can't remember right now which
packages that were... :-/
Best regards and thanks in advance
Carsten
