[R-pkg-devel] No news entries found

[Plamen Mirazchiyski]

Hi,

Today I have submitted a new version of the RALSA package. Soon after I 
received an automatic email letting me know that the package did not 
pass some of the pre-tests:

> package RALSA_1.3.0.tar.gz does not pass the incoming checks automatically, please see the following pre-tests:
> Windows:<https://win-builder.r-project.org/incoming_pretest/RALSA_1.3.0_20220707_190307/Windows/00check.log>
> Status: 2 NOTEs
> Debian:<https://win-builder.r-project.org/incoming_pretest/RALSA_1.3.0_20220707_190307/Debian/00check.log>
> Status: 1 NOTE
>   
> Last released version's CRAN status: OK: 9, NOTE: 4
> See:<https://CRAN.R-project.org/web/checks/check_results_RALSA.html>

To summarize:

1. Windows checks found possibly invalid DOIs. This is to be ignored, as 
stated here: 
https://www.mail-archive.com/r-package-devel@r-project.org/msg07116.html

2. Windows, Debian (gcc) and Fedora (clang and gcc) drop the following note:

checking package subdirectories ... NOTE
Problems with news in 'NEWS.md':
No news entries found.

This is rather strange because I have added one of the largest news 
updates I ever made for this package in the NEWS.md file with this 
submission. Further, this note appears only in these four of the 13 
platforms where the package is checked.

Apparently, this is beyond my control and I can do nothing to fix it on 
my end. I have already replied to the email to notify the 
CRAN-submissions using R-project.org this is a false-positive as advised in 
the email itself, but I thought the mailing list should also be aware of 
this issue.

Best,
Plamen
