Subject: [Rd] issue with testInstalledPackage
Message-ID: <bb6fa2$aha9ur@ironport10.mayo.edu>

Background: I run tools::testInstalledPackage on all packages that dependend on survival 
(605 as of today) before sending a new release to CRAN. It has a few false positives which 
I then follow up on.? (Mostly packages with as-yet-incomplete tests in their inst directory).

 ?Issue: testInstalledPackage("mets")? generates an? "Error in checkVignettes(pkg, 
lib.loc, latex = FALSE, weave = TRUE)" message, which stops my script.? The source code 
for that package passes R CMD check.
I can easily work around this in the short term by adding mets to my do-not-check list.

Footnote: the newer "check_packages_in_dir" routine doesn't work for me.?? The biggest 
reason is that it doesn't have a way to give a list of packages to skip.? My little 
desktop box doesn't have every linux library (cryptography, geospatial, etc.), nor do I 
load up bioconductor; which leads to a boatload of false positives.? I keep adding things 
but the packages add faster.

Terry T.
