Dear All,
I tried to build an R package (from the terminal) and everything was ok until R
CMD check PackageName and I got this message:
......
* checking for hidden files and directories ... NOTE
Found the following hidden files and directories:
.DS_Store
man/.Rapp.history
Those files would both be invisible when using the Finder.app unless you used
ls in a terminal session, but I guess you figured that out
invisible *by default*: it is a Finder setting.
These were most likely included in error. See section ‘Package
structure’ in the ‘Writing R Extensions’ manual.

I, then:
a. went through the archives of this mailing list (until January 2011) and I
could not find a similar problem.
(apologise, if I missed it)
In 2008 it was reported in the NEWS for R 2.7.1 that:
http://markmail.org/search/?q=list%3Aorg.r-project.r-help+DS_Store#query:list%3Aorg.r-project.r-help%20DS_Store+page:1+mid:cx3hryqssis2slx7+state:results
o R CMD build tries harder to clean up the inst/doc directory from the remnants
of earlier builds.
It also removes any directories with extension .Rcheck, and files .DS_Store and
._* (created by tar on Mac OS X under some circumstances: it now sets
environment variables to ask for such files not to be created by that tar.)
So we need to ask if this was just a warning message. It appears that there are
mechanisms in place to remove those files.
(It's arguably an R-devel topic.)
It seems the OP did not use R CMD build, rather R CMD check.
But files like man/.Rapp.history will need to be removed manually.
