Thank you for your answer and sorry for skipping over this detail of checking with R-devel and not the current version of R.
I wonder if checking with R-devel on this page is fine: http://win-builder.r-project.org/upload.aspx Thanks, Corentin On 15/10/2013 01:04, corentin barbu wrote: > 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 ...

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. -- Brian D.
