[R-pkg-devel] URLencode at DESCRIPTION file and citation()

[Amanda Rehbein]

Dear R-Devs,

I was wondering if someone could please help me to with two errors when
submitting a package to CRAN.

1) At the DESCRIPTION file I added some DOI's with curled brackets "<>"
inside the "<>" (e.g. <doi:10.1175/1520-0469(1981)038<1179:TSLROA>2.0.CO;2>).
I tried URLencode() the string in R and copy/paste the output into
the DESCRIPTION file, like this:
<doi:10.1175/1520-0469(1981)038%3C1179:TSLROA%3E2.0.CO;2>. But when I load,
build, check, etc, and ?raytracing the DOI does not appear correctly.
Everything after the first "%" disappeared and obviously, the DOI doesn't
work anymore.


2) I have a CITATION file at the sub-directory ins. Its content is like
this:

citHeader("To cite raytracing in publications use one of below:")

citEntry(entry = "manual",
   title          = "Atmospheric Rossby waves identification and tracking
with a raytracing numerical model",
   author         = personList(c(person("Amanda", "Rehbein"),
                    person("Tercio", "Ambrizzi"),
                    person("Sergio", "Ibarra-Espinosa"),
                    person("Livia M. M.", "Dutra"))),
   year           = "2020",
   url            = "https://github.com/salvatirehbein/raytracing",

   textVersion  =
   paste0("Rehbein, A., Ambrizzi, T., Ibarra-Espinosa, S., Dutra, L. M. M.:
Atmospheric Rossby waves identification and tracking with a raytracing
numerical model ", packageVersion("raytracing"), ".
https://github.com/salvatirehbein/raytracing, 2020.")
)

It passes all checks and gives a-okay citation when I type
citation("raytracing"). However, it fails in the CRAN tests with the
following error message.

Reading CITATION file fails with
     there is no package called 'raytracing'
   when package is not installed.

I will be very thankful for any help with this! Best,
Amanda
