While performing an Rcmd check in R 2.11 (2010-03-14 r51276) on Windows Vista I noticed it was trying to access the internet during this phase: * checking Rd cross-references Is that supposed to happen?

Which package are you talking about? Best, Uwe> ______________________________________________ > R-devel at r-project.org mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
I was checking the zoo package. I think I only noticed it because I had downloaded a new R 2.11 and the first time a program tries to access the internet my firewall gives a message. Actually the zoo-quickref vignette does download some stock data but this occurred during checking cross references rather than building the vignettes. Its possible that it was checking CRAN for a package not in my R 2.11 library -- does it do that?
