#3 Document package check warnings
Opened by iucar. Modified

Open
Close Issue

Our security flags cause package check warnings, which are simply annoying at best, or users may misunderstand at worst. We should document those.

There's also a way to get rid of them during package checks without altering the installation of packages:

  • Copy the Makeconf to e.g. ~/.R/check.Makevars and modify it to remove the offending flags.
  • Add R_MAKEVARS_USER=~/.R/check.Makevars to ~/.R/check.Renviron

From R Internals:

Environment variable _R_CHECK_COMPILATION_FLAGS_KNOWN_ can be set to a space-separated set of flags which come from the R build used for testing (flags such as -Wall and -Wextra are already known).
