Does this then constitute a bug in the package-checking code? With a just-updated R-devel, for a test case I get: The Title field should be in title case, current version then in title case: ‘Support Functions and Data for "Ecological Models and Data" plus 'optim()'’ ‘Support Functions and Data for "Ecological Models and Data" Plus 'Optim()'’ (while I'm nit-picking, I will say that the first time I got a version of this error a few weeks ago, it took me two or three tries to parse what "..., current version then in title case" meant. It is perfectly correct, I just found it really hard to understand ...) cheers Ben Bolker ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
