[R-pkg-devel] Package submission to CRAN not passing incoming checks

[Kasper Daniel Hansen]

1. The version number complaint is the use of 0.1.2-9033. It is complaining
about 9033. Personally, I would not use the -XXXX style, but that is a
personal choice I guess. R-exts says
  "The mandatory ‘Version’ field gives the version of the package. This is
a sequence of at least *two* (and usually three) non-negative integers
separated by single ‘.’ or ‘-’ characters. The canonical form is as shown
in the example, and a version such as ‘0.01’ or ‘0.01.0’ will be handled as
if it were ‘0.1-0’. It is *not* a decimal number, so for example 0.9 < 0.75
since 9 < 75."
2. Those are not URLs, they are DOIs. The Rd format has a \doi{} command
you should use
3. If your examples generate files, I would use the tempfile() command from
base R.
