[x] Change the DESCRIPTION and NEWS on this branch to change the version number to the desired version for CRAN
[x] Rebuild pkgdown docs so they pick up the new version number
[x] Commit and push to the RC branch.
[x] Clean your package directory to remove any extraneous files, including ones that are git-ignored. (Warning, this will delete any unsaved buffers in RStudio! Also, be sure to close RStudio before taking this step!) git clean -xdf .
[x] Build your package. I (jcheng) personally do it from the Mac command line like this:
PATH=$PATH:/Applications/RStudio.app/Contents/MacOS/pandoc R CMD build [pkgdir]
[x] Do a sanity check by installing/testing the built package.
[x] Run R CMD check --as-cran pkg_version.tar.gz both locally and on win-builder. You can also use https://r-hub.github.io/rhub/.
[x] Perform revdepcheck.
[x] Read every bullet point in the CRAN Policies document if this is the first release of the package. I usually print it out and check off the items one by one.
[x] Submit to CRAN via their online form.
[x] If there are R CMD check warnings that are unavoidable, make sure to explain them in the comments.
[ ] When accepted, tag the RC branch with a v1.1.0 tag, and push the tag to origin.
[ ] Merge RC into master.
[ ] On master, change the package version to 1.1.0.9000.
