In Bioconductor, it is required that the tarball size should be <= 4MB but my package's tarball size is 50MB. I checked the folders and found that the actual package is less than 1MB. Why is the size of the package's tarball high?
Ask questions about package development on the bioc-devel mailing list.
Mention the name of your package / issue number / repository location, so that it is easy to help you.
If you mean OPWpaper a hint is from the long file paths note. It looks like you enable caching in your vignette. R CMD build builds the vignette, generating the cache, and then bundling the cache with the built package tar ball. Disable the use of the cache when building the vignette (e.g., test for an environment variable available on your system but not the build system).

@Morgan Thank you for your prompt reply. The package name is OPWeight, issue no. is 395 and the location is https://github.com/mshasan/OPWeight. The package is fine so far but the tarball size is about 50MB.
Yes the tarball contains the cached results from processing the vignette.
