Most can easily be workaround by cleaner code. > Oh, of course, apologies for the oversight, these are the links: "package QCA_3.8.tar.gz does not pass the incoming checks automatically, please see the following pre-tests: Windows: < https://win-builder.r-project.org/incoming_pretest/QCA_3.8_20200521_185504/Windows/00check.log > Status: 1 NOTE Debian: < https://win-builder.r-project.org/incoming_pretest/QCA_3.8_20200521_185504/Debian/00check.log > Status: 1 WARNING, 1 NOTE" I only now realised the most relevant link was down below, after "last released version's CRAN status" (where I mistakenly stopped reading further): "More details are given in the directory: <https://win-builder.r-project.org/incoming_pretest/QCA_3.8_20200521_185504/ >" This is indeed very informative, and points to specific parts of the code that seem to be responsible with the warning.
