Hello R-Package-Devel Mailing List,
I am new to R package development, and am having to limp a project across the
line after my organization has gone through significant changes in recent weeks.
As such, I am emailing to understand what I can do to solve an error I am
having:
The Error
Flavor: r-devel-linux-x86_64-debian-gcc
Check: PDF version of manual without index, Result: ERROR
The Issue
For whatever reason, the R CMD check desires different fields in the
DESCRIPTION file than does the devtools::check() function (particularly w.r.t.
the 'Author' field), and so I have to use devtools to build/check the package.
The devtools::build_manual function, however, does not work, and so I am forced
to utilize Rd2pdf to create my PDF manual.
I have to make the manual via Windows due to issues with an Ubuntu installation
of my package. However, the package is intended for Linux/Debian audiences.
What I Need Help With
I believe I have the manual created. I do not know if this manual needs to be
created when CRAN does their checks, but I have the document (I am comparing
its appearance to the manual of ggplot2, and the structure is similar). I do
not know where it needs to be located. I have tried the root directory of the
package, the doc folder, etc... but nothing works.
What can I do?
Best,
Carter
