Today I have tried to prepare a new CRAN update for a package and have come across a warning, while performing devtools::check().
Since this warning also occurs without my changes I made to the package, I am assuming this is a new check. Unfortunately I don't really get what I am supposed to do.
This is the error message:
A complete check needs the 'checkbashisms' script. See section ‘Configure and cleanup’ in the ‘Writing R Extensions’ manual.
Of course I took a look at the section ‘Configure and cleanup’ as proposed in the warning. But still, I am not sure what to do exactly. I got, there is a checkbashisms Perl script I can download somewhere on the internet (but this alone won't make this message disappear). How shall I integrate this, that the message actually disappears.
Any hints or comments would be extremely helpful to me.
Here is a link to the repo of the package in case you want to clone it to reproduce the error.
