Dear CRAN Team, Please find below some ideas how to improve the checks during a package submission.
I recently submitted a new version of package Rpbd, but made some trivial mistakes during the first 2 attempts. Both could have been easily caught during the actual submission process - before even running any tests. 1. Forgot to update date The user should be warned if date is older than 1 week (and raise error if date is older than ... whatever triggers the error). 2. Version with leading zeroes I resubmitted as version 2.4.01 - as it was just a minor update and was not aware of the generated error. Both fields can be easily checked when uploading the file with the package: the DESCRIPTION file is processed anyway. The user can easily correct these errors, avoiding unnecessary checks, including additional manual checks. Many thanks, Leonard ======= The new version of Rpdb is now on CRAN: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/Rpdb/index.html [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-package-devel
