[Bioc-devel] Author/maintainer field no longer accepted.
Hi All, R BiocCheck no longer seems to accept a Author/Maintainer field. (https://github.com/Bioconductor/BiocCheck/commit/e0176f6591c771774f6cb05d4ff8bc1b145ad10e) * Checking for valid maintainer... * ERROR: Remove Maintainer field. Use Authors at R [cre] designation. However, the package guidelines (https://www.bioconductor.org/developers/package-guidelines/) still say that a Author/Maintainer field is allowed: Authors at R or Author/Maintainer:? fields: Use either Authors at R field or Author: and Maintainer: fields, not both. I think the guidelines need to be updated. With kind regards, Freek Manders
