Agreed. Would be nice if the build system could detect changes to CITATION
and update the web page accordingly. Must already happen for DESCRIPTION.

This will be implemented (over the next several weeks).

+1.  this will be a good motivation for maintainers to get the CITATION
entry right.

I wonder whether the software that makes the package landing pages (e.g.:
http://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/minfi.html ) could be
tweaked to display the actual citation suggested in a package CITATION
file.

Right now, it says 'To cite this package in a publication, start R and
enter: citation("minfi")'. Which is already a good start, but requires
the
reader to have an R session available, install the package, and type
these
words. Things that could be easily automated, and where there is no
obvious
benefit from having the user do these computations, as their result is
anyway predictable.

What do you think?

Kind regards
