[R-pkg-devel] Win-builder: Author field differs from that derived from Authors maybe from R

[Ivan Krylov]

Hi!

I'm relying on Authors using R to generate the Author: and Maintainer:
headers. When checking my package at win-builder using R-unstable, I
got a NOTE that Author field differs from that derived from Authors using R:

>> Author: 'Miquel Garriga [aut, cph], Stefan Gerlach [aut, cph],
>> Ion Vasilief [aut, cph], Alex Kargovsky [aut, cph], Knut Franke
>> [cph], Alexander Semke [cph], Tilman Benkert [cph], Kasper Peeters
>> [cph], Russell Standish [cph], Ivan Krylov [cre, cph]'

>> Authors using R: 'Miquel Garriga [aut, cph], Stefan Gerlach [aut, cph],
>> Ion Vasilief [aut, cph], Alex Kargovsky [aut, cph], Knut Franke
>> [con, cph], Alexander Semke [con, cph], Tilman Benkert [con, cph],
>> Kasper Peeters [con, cph], Russell Standish [con, cph], Ivan Krylov
>> [cre, cph]'

Link to full check output:

The actual field from DESCRIPTION now looks like this:

>> Authors using R: c(person('Miquel', 'Garriga', email =
>> 'gbmiquel using gmail.com', role = c('aut', 'cph')), person('Stefan',
>> 'Gerlach', email = 'stefan.gerlach using uni-konstanz.de', role = c('aut',
>> 'cph')), person('Ion', 'Vasilief', email = 'ion_vasilief using yahoo.fr',
>> role = c('aut', 'cph')), person('Alex', 'Kargovsky', email =
>> 'kargovsky using yumr.phys.msu.su', role = c('aut', 'cph')),
>> person('Knut', 'Franke', email = 'Knut.Franke using gmx.de', role =
>> c('con', 'cph')), person('Alexander', 'Semke', email =
>> 'alexander.semke using web.de', role = c('con', 'cph')), person('Tilman',
>> 'Benkert', email = 'thzs using gmx.net', role = c('con', 'cph')),
>> person('Kasper', 'Peeters', email = 'kasper.peeters using aei.mpg.de',
>> role = c('con', 'cph')), person('Russell', 'Standish', role =
>> c('con', 'cph')), person('Ivan', 'Krylov', email =
>> 'krylov.r00t using gmail.com', role = c('cre', 'cph')))

The version of R I'm currently using is 3.3.3 (2017-03-06) from Debian
stable, which might explain the differences in utils:::format.person.

What should I do to avoid the NOTE?
