Submission summary

This is the first submission of the envar package.

envar provides a unified interface to download, harmonise and extract a wide range of environmental and socio-economic variables from established open data sources for use in macroecology and biogeography.

Test environments

  • win-builder, R-devel (Windows Server 2022)
  • win-builder, R-release 4.6.1 (Windows Server 2022)
  • local: Windows 11, R 4.4.2
  • local: Ubuntu 22.04, R 4.4.1

R CMD check results

On win-builder (R-devel and R-release) R CMD check returns no ERRORs and no WARNINGs, and a single NOTE:

  • "New submission" — this is the first submission of the package.

The same NOTE lists four "possibly misspelled words" in the Description (biogeography, macroecology, reprojection, socio). These are spelled correctly: the first three are standard terms in the field, and "socio" is the first half of the compound "socio-economic".

The incoming-feasibility check also flags https://www.gbif.org as a possibly invalid URL (HTTP 403). The URL is valid and opens normally in a browser; GBIF returns 403 to the automated request made by the URL checker. It appears in the sdm vignette and in the documentation of the bundled Apollo dataset, whose source is GBIF.

On some platforms R CMD check reports that the installed package size exceeds 5 Mb (approximately 7.7 Mb: data/ ~2.4 Mb, doc/ ~3.9 Mb). This comes from the example datasets used in the documentation and vignettes (notably the Europe boundaries) and the pre-computed vignette figures. The datasets are stored with xz compression (LazyDataCompression: xz).

Notes

  • All examples that download data from remote services are wrapped in \dontrun{} because they require network access and large downloads from third-party hosts. The vignettes are pre-computed (the *.Rmd.orig pattern) so that no network access or large downloads occur during R CMD build/check.

  • rnaturalearthdata is listed in Suggests: it is only needed to resolve study areas given by country or continent name, every such code path is guarded with requireNamespace(), and this mirrors how the upstream rnaturalearth package itself declares it.
