Hi, Recently added to doc/NEWS.Rd: 'R CMD check' now gives a warning rather than a note if it finds inefficiently compressed datasets. With 'bzip2' and 'xz' compression having been available since R 2.10.0, there is no excuse for not using them. Why isn't a note enough for this? Generally speaking, warnings are for things that are dangerous, or unsafe,

...test-load. UTILITIES: o R CMD check now gives a warning rather than a note if it finds inefficiently compressed datasets. With bzip2 and xz compression having been available since R 2.10.0, it only exceptionally makes sense to not use them. The environment variable _R_CHECK_COMPACT_DATA2_ is no longer consulted: the check is always done if _R_CHECK_COMPACT_DATA_ has a true value (its default). o Where multiple sub-architectures are to be tested, R CMD check now runs the examples and tests for all the sub-architectures even if one fails. o R CMD chec...

...Windows systems. It checks for inefficiently saved data/*.rda and data/*.RData files, and reports on those large than 100Kb. A more complete check (including of the type of compression, but potentially much slower) can be switched on by setting environment variable _R_CHECK_COMPACT_DATA2_ to TRUE. The types of files in the data directory are now checked, as packages are _still_ misusing it for non-R data files. It now extracts and runs the R code for each vignette in a separate directory and R process: this is done in the package's declared encodi...

In the other rare cases the recommended form is to use a function such as coefHclust which would not get confused with a method, document that and register it in the NAMESPACE file by s3method(coef, hclust, coefHclust). o The default for the environment variable _R_CHECK_COMPACT_DATA2_ is now true: thus if using the newer forms of compression introduced in R 2.10.0 would be beneficial is now checked (by default). o Reference output for a vignette can be supplied when checking a package by R CMD check: see 'Writing R Extensions'. o R CMD R...
