6 months ago Hey! On leave but checking in on a few things. I think you are fine to store data in the usual r data structures (.rda I think? Can’t remember off the too of my head) and ignore this warning-I get the same, if you store data it’s inevitable! And only matters for CRAN, which we’ll never need. I don’t do any fancier compressions than using standard r data structures.
All sounds good!

I'm putting this in an issue so I don't forget about it. I'd love your take on this, as I'm wondering if I need to solve it, because it is a data package, so one might expect it to take up space.
Here's the note I'm getting: ❯ checking installed package size ... NOTE installed size is 22.8Mb sub-directories of 1Mb or more: data 20.2Mb
The clearest answer to my exact problem is here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53819970/r-package- libs-directory-too-large-after-compilation-to-submit-on-cran And the answer that's given is: "You don't "solve" this. It is a NOTE, ie less than a WARNING or ERROR. Hundreds of C++ based packages have the same, including Rcpp itself. It will not stop CRAN."
Do we think that's true?? Should I proceed? I had a warning because I hadn't compressed the data, so I went ahead and compressed it, and explained the kind of compression I'd used in my Description file. Now I'm down to just this note.
