Hi everybody,

on submitting a new version of a package I got a rejection because of
the following Error in the CRAN-check.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

* using R version 3.4.3 (2017-11-30)
* using platform: x86_64-apple-darwin15.6.0 (64-bit)
* using session charset: UTF-8
* using option ?--as-cran?
* checking for file ?namepackage/DESCRIPTION? ... OK
* checking extension type ... Package
* this is package ?namepackage? version ?1.1.2?
* checking CRAN incoming feasibility ... Note_to_CRAN_maintainers
* checking package namespace information ... OK
* checking package dependencies ... OK
* checking if this is a source package ... ERROR
Only *source* packages can be checked.
* DONE
Status: 1 ERROR

Best regards,

That would be your error. You did not upload a source package.

You get a source package suitable for submission by running `R CMD check namepackage'  or the equivalent devtools::build()

Close: "R CMD build namepackage" creates the tar.gz file.
And "R CMD check --as-cran namepackage_*.tar.gz" checks it.

Or even better, devtools::release(): it walks you through a checklist
of activities designed to make your submission as successful as
possible.

Thanks Hadley, for making us aware of this tool. I have a question: the
spellchecker part works (I mean I corrected words that were clearly
misspelled leaving acronyms which are common in my field), but I get the
following messages after the spell check:

* using log directory
?/private/var/folders/d1/mx6dcbzx3v39r260458z2b200000gn/T/RtmpjaaTMI/RJafroc.Rcheck?

* checking CRAN incoming feasibility ...*Error in aspell(files, filter =
list("dcf", ignore = ignore), control = control,  : *
*  No suitable spell-checker program found*
Execution halted
Was R CMD check successful?
1: Nope
2: No
3: Yes

I selected 3. Am I making the right choice?

Thanks,

Dev
