Hello, All:
"CRAN Package Check Results for Package Ecdat"[1] flags a "NOTE" on all
platforms. I don't understand any of them.
For example, the check results from some but not all platforms include:
** No Authors at R field in DESCRIPTION.
Please add one, modifying
Authors at R: c(person(given = "Yves",
family = "Croissant",
role = "aut",
email = "yves.croissant at let.ish-lyon.cnrs.fr"),
person(given = "Spencer",
family = "Graves",
role = c("aut", "cre"),
email = "spencer.graves at effectivedefense.org"))
as necessary.
** The DESCRIPTION file includes exactly this Author at R field, which
seems to be what they want, but which I read as complaining it's not
there. ???
Version 0.4-2 didn't include that. The link you sent points to check results for that version (which was uploaded in 2022).
** Some of these check results also complain about "Lost braces". The braces seem to be there with the standard syntax that I understand from what I read in "Writing R Extensions".
I think the "lost braces" are unnecessary braces. For example, you have
\doi{10.18128/D010.V10.0}{IPUMS USA: Version 10.0 [dataset].
Minneapolis, MN: IPUMS}
as though \doi{} needs two arguments, but it only needs one.
** "Found the following Rd file(s) with Rd \link{} targets missing
package anchors:
USFinanceIndustry.Rd: readNIPA"
** In that Rd file, I find "\code{\link[Ecfun]{readNIPA}}"
In 0.4-2 you have
\seealso{
\code{\link{readNIPA}}
}

What am I missing? Thanks, Spencer Graves [1] https://cran.rstudio.com//web/checks/check_results_Ecdat.html
