Hello, while checking a small package I wrote (http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/tipom/) before submitting a new version, I was blocked by an error in the "checking CRAN incoming feasibility" section of R CMD check --as-cran, as pasted below:
steko@ganymede:~/code$ LC_ALL=C R CMD check --as-cran tipom * using log directory '/home/steko/code/tipom.Rcheck' * using R version 3.0.1 (2013-05-16) * using platform: i486-pc-linux-gnu (32-bit) * using session charset: ASCII * checking for file 'tipom/DESCRIPTION' ... OK * checking extension type ... Package * this is package 'tipom' version '1.0.1' * checking CRAN incoming feasibility ...Error in if (!all(m_m_1 == m_d_1)) { : missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed Execution halted The error occurs using R 3.0.1 on both Debian and Fedora (distribution packages). I understand it is caused by some missing information in the DESCRIPTION file. With some trial and error, following some clues found at https://github.com/hadley/devtools/issues/209, I could figure out it was missing the "Maintainer" field. However, in the "Writing R extensions" manual I read that > Fields Author and Maintainer can be auto-generated from Authors@R, and may be omitted if the latter is provided I am indeed using Authors@R so in the end I am slightly confused. What is the correct way to deal with these fields?
