I'm afraid it's not exactly documented (and therefore may be subject to change), but this NOTE is currently produced for every DESCRIPTION field unless it's mentioned in tools:::.get_standard_DESCRIPTION_fields() or starts with a number of prefixes (such as X-CRAN, X-schema.org, Repository/R-Forge, VCS/, and Config/). I see "Revision" in the list of standard DESCRIPTION fields. Conveniently, it doesn't seem to be used by base R packages. Would it be acceptable to use "Revision" instead of "Nickname"? An alternative option would be to file a wishlist ticket asking for "Nickname" to be added to the list, but then your package will have to wait until that change propagates to the next release of R. -- Best regards, Ivan ______________________________________________ R-package-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-package-devel
