Samuel, Only documentation and bug fixes should be back-ported to the release branch. This issue would classify as a documentation fix so would be a valid change.
The naming ambiguities can be resolved by specifying an `Authors@R` block in your DESCRIPTION file. ``` Authors@R: c(person("Jessica", "Mar", role = "aut"), person("Laurence", "De Torrente", role = "aut"), person("Samuel", "Zimmerman", role = c("aut", "cre"), email = "sezim...@einstein.yu.edu")) ``` This change allows us to now generate a correctly formatted citation. ```r citation("pathVar") #> #> To cite package 'pathVar' in publications use: #> #> Jessica Mar, Laurence De Torrente and Samuel Zimmerman (2015). #> pathVar: Methods to Find Pathways with Significantly Different #> Variability. R package version 1.1.0. #> #> A BibTeX entry for LaTeX users is #> #> @Manual{, #> title = {pathVar: Methods to Find Pathways with Significantly Different #> Variability}, #> author = {Jessica Mar and Laurence {De Torrente} and Samuel Zimmerman}, #> year = {2015}, #> note = {R package version 1.1.0}, #> } ``` On Wed, Oct 21, 2015 at 10:19 AM, Samuel E Zimmerman < sezim...@einstein.yu.edu> wrote: > Dear Bioc-devel users, > > One of the authors of our package realized that the first letter of her > last name was not capitalized in the description file of the package.
