Hello Everyone, some weeks back I already wrote to CRAN but got no response. So, I post my question here seeking for advice.
I am trying to publish a package to CRAN. I got rejected once with some minor change requests. I implemented them and submitted again. This time I got a whole array of change requests. The problem is, I am confused since none of the requests is mentioned anywhere in CRAN policies. So, are those mere suggestions? Are these common policy now? Has everyone to implement them? How should I proceed? (In general, I have no problem with complying with CRAN policies, but I am not sure if these are actually common requirements now or not.) Copy of the change requests: ***************** quote >>>> ************************************** Please add \value to all .Rd files for exported functions and explain the functions results in the documentation. f.i.: time_stamp.Rd If a function does not return a value, please document that too, e.g. \value{None}. The \description tag in the .Rd files should be one or two sentences on how the function works and what it's good for. Don't just repeat the function name. F.i.: stats_modus_multi.Rd An .Rd file title should: - be capitalized - not end in a period - be at most 65 characters long - exist and stand alone (there must be exactly one title) Please adjust to these standards and again don't simply repeat the name. https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R-exts.html#Documenting-functions F.i.: stats_modus_multi.Rd Please fix and resubmit, and document what was changed in the submission comments. ***************** <<<< quote ************************************** Best, Peter [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-package-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-package-devel
