Hi All,
Could someone point me to an example on how to use Author@R in a package
DESCRIPTION file?
There is an introduction in the following report:
http://epub.wu.ac.at/3269/
Say with 2 authors: John Doe and Jane Doe, the latter is a maintainer
which could replace:
Author: John Doe, Jane Doe
Maintainer: Jane Doe
You can use
Authors@R: c(person(given = "John", family = "Doe", role = "aut"),
person(given = "Jane", family = "Doe", role = c("aut", "cre"),
email = "jane....@e-mail.org"))
If you omit the Author/Maintainer fields, then R CMD build will produce
them automatically as
Author: John Doe [aut], Jane Doe [aut, cre]
Maintainer: Jane Doe <jane....@e-mail.org>
hth,
Z
"Both ?Author? and ?Maintainer? can be omitted (as from R 2.14.0) if a
suitable ?Authors@R? is given. This field can be used to provide a
refined, machine-readable description of the package ?authors? (in
particular specifying their precise roles), via suitable R code. The
roles can include ?"aut"? (author) for full authors, ?"cre"? (creator)
for the package maintainer, and ?"ctb"? (contributor) for other
contributors, among others. See ?person for more information. Note
that no role is assumed by default. Auto-generated package citation
information takes advantage of this specification; in R 2.14.0 or
later, the ?Author? and ?Maintainer? fields are auto-generated from it
if needed when building or installing."
Yes, I also checked ?person but no example there either. I am quite a
newbie and preparing my first R package... Thanks!
