They are scanned probably because R CMD build does something like cp * to copy
everything to a temp folder first up, before processing it. An argument could
be made that it should manually loop through all files and dirs, checking each
against .Rbuildignore before copying.

Maybe you have large, ignored files in the package directory? R first
creates a copy of the whole directory and only applies `.Rbuildignore`
after that.
THANKS - you solved my question without me having to answer it. As I am using a
makefile to build the package, I can easily rename the ignored directories
before calling build.
But the question is why are these ignored directories scanned before building
the package? They should be ignored anyway?

Actually, cancel that: it finished successfully, but took 3 minutes to prepare

This is really weird, I'm used to the package prep step taking 10 seconds at
most.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [R-pkg-devel] R CMD build hanging for some but not all
packages
This is with R 3.6.2 on Windows 10 Pro 1909.
In the last couple of weeks, devtools::build() and devtools::check() have
started hanging on some, but not all, of my packages. After some poking around,
I discovered that it's actually R CMD build that is having problems, right
after the "checking for file 'DESCRIPTION'" step.
A reproducible example can be found by cloning my AzureStor package:
https://nam06.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2FAzure%2FAzureStor=02%7C01%7Chongooi%40microsoft.com%7C7962d328eb984556a2e708d7aecdc0db%7C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7C1%7C0%7C637170071036915332=cmY0VPEiEgcuhI%2B4wIT8iIimQhq7751IJ0KHdsPaMtg%3D=0
If you run "R CMD build ." in the package directory, it should hang. This is a
relatively simple package that doesn't require compilation, although it does
import some commonly-used packages like httr, curl, jsonlite and xml2.
As far as I can tell, R on Ubuntu works fine. What's going on?
