[R-pkg-devel] author field in description problem

[Jason Serviss]

William,

I use the Authors at R field to include my ORCID in this package: https://github.com/jasonserviss/ClusterSignificance/blob/master/DESCRIPTION

and get no notes (concerning that anyway) on windows (https://www.bioconductor.org/checkResults/3.6/bioc-LATEST/ClusterSignificance/tokay1-checksrc.html). My author field looks a bit different though:

Authors at R: c(
  person("Jason T.", "Serviss", email = "Jason.serviss at ki.se<mailto:Jason.serviss at ki.se>", role = c("aut", "cre"), comment = c(ORCID = 0000-0002-5778-7014)),
  person("Jesper R.", "Gadin", email = "Jesper.gadin at ki.se<mailto:Jesper.gadin at ki.se>", role = c("aut"))
)
Author: Jason T. Serviss [aut, cre],
  Jesper R. Gadin [aut]

Might help to resolve the note.

Kind Regards,
Jason

Uwe,
Thanks.  I was hoping that you would say that.

I did remove the author and maintainer fields. I have only the Authors at R field.  However it still throws that Note (in R 3.4.3)

Ignore it. R-3.4.3 doid not know about the ORCID feature, hence goves this note.

Best,

Hi,

I am trying to take advantage of the Authors at R: field in my description file for the psych package to add an ORCID address (as discussed in the R journal).

When I R CMD check with R development on my Mac, or with win builder it passes all checks. (R Under development (unstable) (2018-02-23 r74298)  )

But, when I test with current R on a Mac or at win builder it throws a note:

Author field differs from that derived from Authors at R
Author:    'William Revelle [aut, cre] (<https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4880-9610>)'
Authors at R: 'William Revelle [aut, cre] (0000-0003-4880-9610)’


Is there a way to fix this or should I just go ahead and submit to CRAN with a note saying that it works on R development but gives a note on R 3.4.3 ?

The offending line in the Description file seems to be

Authors at R:  person("William", "Revelle", role =c("aut","cre"), email="revelle at northwestern.edu<mailto:revelle at northwestern.edu>", comment=c(ORCID  = "0000-0003-4880-9610") )

Thanks for any suggestions.

You can use ‘Authors at R’ only to fix this NOTE. According to "Writing R
Extensions":

"Both ‘Author’ and ‘Maintainer’ fields can be omitted if a suitable
‘Authors at R’ field is given. [...] The ‘Author’ and ‘Maintainer’ fields
are auto-generated from it if needed when building or installing."
