Warning: LazyData DB of .... MB without LazyDataCompression set

I have run devtools::check() on my R package and obtained the following error:

LazyData DB of 14.3 MB without LazyDataCompression set

One of the suggested solutions to this problem is to delete

LazyData:true

from the description file. However, I need lazy loading for my datasets so that they get loaded into the environment upon installation.

One solution that I have found is the following:

Add

LazyDataCompression:xz

to the description file.

You might need to resave your data files using the xz compression using the function resaveRdafiles() of the tools package, as follows:

resaveRdaFiles("data/yourDataFile.RData",compress="xz")

To check that the compression has been done successfully, use:

checkRdaFiles("data/")
