Dear r-devel list,
I've observed at both of my submissions that issues arise at submission
that were not pointed out by
R cmd check --as-cran
For example at my last submission:
You have
VignetteBuilder: knitr
but there is nothing looking like a vignette in your source package....
We also see:
* checking DESCRIPTION meta-information ... NOTE
Author field differs from that derived from Authors@R
Author: 'Corentin M Barbu <corentin.ba...@gmail.com> [aut, cre],
Sebastian Gibb <m...@sebastiangibb.de> [ctb]'
Authors@R: 'Corentin M Barbu [aut, cre], Sebastian Gibb [ctb]'
Maintainer field differs from that derived from Authors@R
Maintainer: 'Corentin M. Barbu <corentin.ba...@gmail.com>'
Authors@R: 'Corentin M Barbu <corentin.ba...@gmail.com>'
Both were stupid mistakes, largely due to my inexperience but none was
detected by R cmd check --as-cran or even at build by
http://win-builder.r-project.org/upload.aspx
Is there anything else I can use to better check my packages before
submission?
Yes, follow the CRAN policies:
'Please ensure that R CMD check --as-cran has been run on the tarball to
be uploaded before submission. This should be done with the current
version of R-devel (or if that is not possible, current R-patched or the
current release of R.)'
The check of Authors@R is in R-devel only, and requires --as-cran.
