Understanding Uncompressed Saves and Their Impact on Package Checks In recent years, there has been a growing trend in R packages to include large datasets as part of their distribution. These datasets can be stored in various formats, such as .RData or .rda, which provide efficient storage and loading capabilities for the data. However, when these files are saved without compression, they can lead to warnings during package checks. In this article, we will explore the issues associated with uncompressed saves during package checks and discuss how to overcome them effectively.
