When I include the macros \packageAuthor, \packageDescription, \packageTitle, \packageMaintainer in a XX-package.Rd file, R CMD Rd2pdf fails with
$ R CMD Rd2pdf mpra Hmm ... looks like a package Converting Rd files to LaTeX Error : mpra/man/mpra-package.Rd:6: file './DESCRIPTION' does not exist This does not happen if I comment out 4 occurrences of these 4 macros in mpra-package.Rd.
