package checking apparently ok but R-forge version does not build

Dear r developers,
I'm writing a set of new functions for an existing R package on R-forge
(called COGARCH).
I wrote the new R code (but still no documentation), and updated the
NAMESPACE file.
I installed it from my local repository and everything seems to work.
I checked the local repository and the check did not produces errors, but 2
warnings and 2 notes (I attach the log) one of which just tell that there
is no documentation and the other were already present in previous versions.
However on R-forge the package is in building stutus and actually it does
not build.
Any suggestion? Does everything depend on the missing documentation?
The best Enrico

The advice I'd expect is to make sure there are neither errors no warnings, as CRAN guardians are (rightly) reluctant to tolerate either. And a package without documentation is unlikely to help anyone else much anyway - even the author, in six months time - so that really should be there.

A secondary issue might be a difference in R version; are you running your r cmd check with the R version currently used by R forge? The checks change over time and with R version.

Finally, have you checked the log on R forge to see whether the check is returning the same warnings/errors that you see locally?

S Ellison
