[Bioc-devel] [R-pkg-devel] DESCRIPTION file building problem

[Gabe Becker]

Dario,

Does this ever happen if you build in the parent directory? I don't think
building within the package directory is best practice and I'm not sure
it's (officially) supported at all. The error message seems to support that.
