[R-pkg-devel] Changing the title of a package.

Currently the title line in the DESCRIPTION file for my kanova package
reads

    Title: Pseudo Anova for K-Functions

and I would like it to read

    Title: Quasi Anova for K-Functions

The reason I want to make this change is that I am writing, with a
co-author, a paper on the underlying ideas, and my co-author wants the
title of the paper to be "Quasi analysis of variance for K-Functions"
rather than "Pseudo analysis of variance for K-Functions" (as I
initially had it).  My co-author is of course quite right.

I would like the title in the DESCRIPTION file to be consistent with the
title of the paper.

To get to the point: can I just simply change the title in the
DESCRIPTION file, or will there be repercussions in the form of NOTEs
WARNINGs or ERRORs that I will somehow have to deal with?  (And if so,
how do I deal with them?)

Grateful for any advice.

cheers,

Rolf
