I always run R CMD BUILD before R CMD CHECK. I popped open the tar.gz
file and the folder did include DESCRIPTION. So it's there, all right.
I notice the 'build' folder contains one file, 'partial.rdb' . I don't
have anything requiring compilation, so I'm not sure why there's a
'build' directory at all.

AFAIK tgz is one possible file name extension equivalent to .tar.gz, which
implies gzip compression, so I think Bob was just being a bit sloppy when he
wrote tar.tgz.
Key point is not that a particular compression makes a difference, but that the
check needs to be run on a source archive rather than the in-place source you
have been editing. He was confirming that you are making that file and
specifying it when checking.

I plead ignorance here: I don't see an option to create .tgz . The
R CMD BUILD --help just lists "gzip" (default), "none", "bzip2", "xz"
.Does one of those create the .tgz -type compression?

Does it still do it if you build a tar.tgz archive and run it on

I could not dup your problem, but when I tried to run it on a couple
of my packages that work fine with tar.gz (I use Authors@R) in dir
(`R
CMD check --as-cran .` or parent dir and specify the pkg dir) I get:
Required field missing or empty:
‘Author’
(running last R 4.0.1 beta before the release of R 4.0.1, latest
Catalina beta AND R 4.0.0 on ubuntu)
So, def something strange going on.

Hi,
I recently upgraded to a new iMac w/ Catalina. Something really
strange
is happening when I try to run "R CMD CHECK --as-cran " .
If I run it on various older packages that have previously passed
the
check, all is well.
I am writing a new package, and here's the response I get:
* using log directory ‘/Users/cgw/Rgames/fitConic.Rcheck’
* using R version 4.0.0 (2020-04-24)
* using platform: x86_64-apple-darwin17.0 (64-bit)
* using session charset: UTF-8
* using option ‘--as-cran’
* checking for file ‘fitConic/DESCRIPTION’ ... OK
* this is package ‘fitConic’ version ‘1.0’
* checking CRAN incoming feasibility ...Error: file './DESCRIPTION'
does not exist
Execution halted
This happens whether I run R CMD CHECK from the parent dirctory
/Users/cgw/Rgames or from the source directory
/Users/cgw/Rgames/fitConic .
I verified I can edit the DESCRIPTION file in my previous packages &
still pass the check. I even took one of those old DESCRIPTION
files
and put it into the fitConic directory, and changed only the
"Package:"
line .
I'm guessing that last error message is not telling me what actually
went wrong, but I'm at a loss as to why this new package fails.
I've
created a new directory and moved all my files (DESCRIPTION,
NAMESPACE,
and the R & man folders) over. No luck.
Is this a hangup somewhere in R 4.0 for OSX, or is there something
else
going on? (do I need, for example to do something to give XQuartz
more
permissions, or some other called app? )
thanks
