Subject: [R-pkg-devel] ORCID disappearing in auto-generated Authors: field?
In-Reply-To: <f097f40a-06e5-4e00-a239-c97df23f2900@gmail.com>
PS. This was for R 3.4.4: maybe that's relevant? (OTOH the CRAN
oldrel checks aren't triggering this NOTE, and I can't find anything at
all recent in R's NEWS file ...
I may invoke Clarke's third law ("any sufficiently advanced technology
is indistinguishable from magic"
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clarke%27s_three_laws>) and take my
chances with submitting to CRAN ...
cheers
