link between rnaturalearth and rnaturalearthdata pre CRAN submission about rnaturalearth HOT 9 CLOSED

@andysouth I'll have a look

from rnaturalearth.

do you check locally with --as-cran ?

from rnaturalearth.

I think you need to submit rnaturalearthdata to CRAN first - then submit rnaturalearth - what do you mean by

submit rnaturalearth & rnaturalearthdata together

from rnaturalearth.

Thanks @sckott I hadn't thought to submit rnaturalearthdata to CRAN first, I'll do that.

Can you activate, or enable me to activate rnaturalearthdata on travis ?

It's telling me I don't have admin rights.

from rnaturalearth.

@andysouth Okay, travis is now on for that pkg, let me know if you need anything else

from rnaturalearth.

@andysouth you're now admin on both repos

from rnaturalearth.

Thanks @sckott rnaturalearthdata now succesfully on CRAN (hurrah!)

Ready to submit rnaturalearth, it passes locally and on travis but when I submit to winbuilder it fails due to installation of rnaturalearthhires.

Would you recommend submitting to cran anyway ?

winbuilder error below : and here

Awesome it's on CRAN now.

Not sure, I'll have a look

from rnaturalearth.

rnaturalearth should pass check without packages in Suggests available - which sounds like that's not the case?

Examples in your pkg that need rnaturalearthdata or rnaturalearthhires need to be wrapped in

if (requireNamespace("ourpackage")) {
  # examples stuff
}

so examples then only run if that pkg is available

from rnaturalearth.
