Hi, Is there any reason why .Rbuildignore is not used before copying package files in R CMD build?
For some of the packages I develop I have rather large directories with miscellaneous files for testing and other purposes. They are in my .Rbuildignore (and .gitignore) file, but that doesn't prevent R CMD build from trying to copy them on the build process. Having them copied either breaks the build completely because /tmp directory gets out of space, or just slows it down a lot. So I wonder if there is a specific reason for this behavior and whether it could be change or controlled by some parameter. There is some discussion in the context of pkgbuild package: https://github.com/r-lib/pkgbuild/issues/59 It provides a hackish workaround for that, which also does not work on Windows.
