use_release_issue() should include devtools::check_mac_release()?

[cpsievert]

I've experienced, a couple time now, that CRAN doesn't run mac checks until after the package is accepted (which then results in a 2-week deadline request to fix the issue, after it's published). So it seems useful to include devtools::check_mac_release() in the pre-flight checklist.

Do you not use a mac? Or did something mac-CRAN specific fail?

[cpsievert]

I do use a mac, and yes, it was mac-CRAN specific

Somewhat related to r-lib/devtools#2507

@cpsievert can you be more explicit about what went wrong?

[hadley]

This hasn't affected us, and we don't have check_mac_devel() yet, so we're going to close. But we'll keep an eye on the situation and we can reconsider in the future.
