# BACKGROUND I maintain the 'oce' package, and to avoid problems when I submit a new version, I do some remote tests using
* devtools::check_mac_release() * devtools::check_win_release() * devtools::check_win_devel() * devtools::check_win_oldrelease() # problem I found that the mac upload fails, but it doesn't state why, and I'll ignore that for now, assuming it to be a temporary problem. My concern is with the last test, i.e. on system R version 4.4.3 (2025-02-28 ucrt) It produces one NOTE. Looking into this, I see the following in the 00check.log file: * checking DESCRIPTION meta-information ... NOTE Author field differs from that derived from Authors@R Author: 'Dan Kelley [aut, cre] (ORCID: <https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7808-5911>), Clark Richards [aut] (ORCID: <https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7833-206X>), Chantelle Layton [ctb] (ORCID: <https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3199-5763>, curl() coauthor), British Geological Survey [ctb, cph] (magnetic-field subroutine)' Authors@R: 'Dan Kelley [aut, cre] (<https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7808-5911>), Clark Richards [aut] (<https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7833-206X>), Chantelle Layton [ctb] (<https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3199-5763>, curl() coauthor), British Geological Survey [ctb, cph] (magnetic-field subroutine)' This relates to the following lines in my DESCRIPTION file. # QUESTION Should I be doing something about this note?
