[R-pkg-devel] help understanding "CRAN Package Check Results for Package Ecdat"

[Spencer Graves]

Hello, All:


"CRAN Package Check Results for Package Ecdat"[1] flags a "NOTE" on all 
platforms. I don't understand any of them.


For example, the check results from some but not all platforms include:


** No Authors using R field in DESCRIPTION.
Please add one, modifying
   Authors using R: c(person(given = "Yves",
                       family = "Croissant",
                       role = "aut",
                       email = "yves.croissant using let.ish-lyon.cnrs.fr"),
                person(given = "Spencer",
                       family = "Graves",
                       role = c("aut", "cre"),
                       email = "spencer.graves using effectivedefense.org"))
as necessary.


** The DESCRIPTION file includes exactly this Author using R field, which 
seems to be what they want, but which I read as complaining it's not 
there. ???


** Some of these check results also complain about "Lost braces". The 
braces seem to be there with the standard syntax that I understand from 
what I read in "Writing R Extensions".


** "Found the following Rd file(s) with Rd \link{} targets missing 
package anchors:
   USFinanceIndustry.Rd: readNIPA"


** In that Rd file, I find "\code{\link[Ecfun]{readNIPA}}"


What am I missing? Thanks, Spencer Graves
