Software names (only) should be single quotes in Title and Description 
fields.

Please get rid of that field for CRAN submissions.

Basic.tar.gz can't be a valid filename prodiced by R CMD build.

R CMD build will use the package name and version number for the name of 
the tarball.

Title:


Where the title can be a bit more descriptive than the name, of course.

Look at examples what other packages do.
