[Rd] R CMD Rd2pdf and macros

[Kasper Daniel Hansen]

No, I do not get the same as you.

I have tested with R-devel and R-patched compiled today.  When I do

R CMD Rd2pdf mpra

I get (as reported a few days ago)
  Hmm ... looks like a package
  Converting Rd files to LaTeX Error : mpra/man/mpra-package.Rd:6: file
'./DESCRIPTION' does not exist
whereas you (Kurt) reports that this works on zTree.

When I do
R CMD Rd2pdf mpra/man

I get
  - a pdf produced
  - warnings about missing macros

This is for a package with a
  PKGNAME-package.Rd
man page containing \packageDescription, \packageAuthor, \packageTitle,
\packageMaintainer, \doi
