[R-pkg-devel] problems with Maintainers in DESCRIPTION file

[Ivan Krylov]

Dear Olga Viedma,

Welcome to R-package-devel!

When looking for advice here, it's best to link to the package code and
the R CMD check report you have received.

The maintainer address is always printed here, with a
Note_for_CRAN_maintainers instead of NOTE if all other tests pass
successfully. Unfortunately, this is not the whole NOTE:
https://win-builder.r-project.org/incoming_pretest/LadderFuelsR_0.0.1_20231207_204411/Debian/00check.log

>> New submission

This NOTE is expected to happen. New submissions require manual review.

>> Possibly misspelled words in DESCRIPTION:
>>  LiDAR (3:67, 9:94)

I think you can mention this being an established term of the art in
the comment field. Only new submissions are spell-checked, so once the
package is accepted, this won't reappear either. Alternatively, you can
serialize a character vector of words into an .rds file under .aspell
(see help(aspell)) so that it will be accepted by the automated check:

saveRDS(c('LiDAR'), '.aspell/dictionary.rds')

(This is untested but follows the documentation and the R CMD check
source code.)

This automated check makes sure that any URL listed in the
documentation (README or help pages) directly points to a web page.
It's not exactly obvious unless you run R CMD check --as-cran yourself,
but https://travis-ci.com/olgaviedma/LadderFuelsR redirects to
https://www.travis-ci.com/olgaviedma/LadderFuelsR. If you add the
missing www., you will get rid of the problem.
