[R-pkg-devel] r-patched-solaris-sparc error

[Carlos Cinelli]

Hi all,
I have written a simple package a while ago and I have noticed that only in 
solaris-sparc it failed some tests that I wrote with testthat.
http://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_benford.analysis.html

I plan to (eventually) completely rewrite this package and maybe I will take 
these tests out of the CRAN version. But I wanted to understand why this errors 
showed up only in solaris (the Mean relative difference is quite big).Also, if 
I decided to keep the tests, I wanted to know how could I make sure these will 
not fail in solaris.
ThanksBest
Carlos

[R-pkg-devel] Possibly mis-spelled words in DESCRIPTION

[carlos cinelli]

Hi, all!

I am about to do a maintenance update on the benford.analysis package
and when checking the package in Win Builder I get this note:


** checking CRAN incoming feasibility ... NOTE
Maintainer: 'Carlos Cinelli >'

Possibly mis-spelled words in DESCRIPTION:
  Analytics (3:58)
  Benford (3:8)
  Benford's (7:72)*

However, I do not think Analytics is misspelled and Benford is a
proper name (Frank Benford).

How should I proceed in this case?

Thanks!

Best,

Carlos
