Hi, On Writing R Extensions there is a footnote [6] about the "Date" field on the DESCRIPTION file being required by CRAN:
"required by CRAN, so checked by R CMD check --as-cran" I think this is no longer up to date, as I've seen packages published on CRAN without it. This might be because now the Packaged date is checked too (around src/tools/R/QC.R line 7998). Best, Lluís [6]: https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-devel/R-exts.html#FOOT6 [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
