When I run R CMD check --as-cran on my package, the one note I still get is:

checking CRAN incoming feasibility ... NOTE 
Maintainer:[my name] <my email>

I can't seem to find a good explanation of this note, although I haven't read anything that tells my I should be concerned about it. As anyone else run into this? Is there anything I can do that will clear the note?

    I've gotten really good at ignoring things since I had kids. This I can do. Thanks. – Benjamin May 23 '14 at 13:39
  • @gagolews, post summaries of those threads as an answer? – Ben Bolker May 23 '14 at 13:45

According to CRAN Maintainer Uwe Ligges,

This is just a note that reminds CRAN maintainers to check that the submission comes actually from his maintainer and not anybody else.

Thus, it is safe to ignore such a message.

These checks can be disabled. R Internals states:

_R_CHECK_CRAN_INCOMING_

Check whether package is suitable for publication on CRAN. Default: false, except for CRAN submission checks.

_R_CHECK_CRAN_INCOMING_REMOTE_

Include checks that require remote access among the above. Default: same as _R_CHECK_CRAN_INCOMING_

I usually run M-x occur [^OK]$ and scoll through the 'occur' buffer. Hope that helps
