Hello, 1) I found (via GitHub search for DOIs in DESCRIPTION files https://github.com/search?q=org%3Acran+%3Cdoi+user%3Acran+filename%3ADESCRIPTION&type=Code&ref=advsearch&l=&l=) a package with an URL-encoded DOI see https://github.com/cran/clust.bin.pair/blob/e464ac7e5d094bffd25b7c4cbba67820b60f1cc1/DESCRIPTION and the resulting CRAN page https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/clust.bin.pair/index.html So I think you are right to use URL encoding.
I can reproduce the problem you get with the roxygen2-generated package-level manual page. The problem is that when going from Rd to HTML, the parts after "%" are ignored indeed. I'm not sure at what level this should be fixed. I opened an issue in roxygen2 https://github.com/r-lib/roxygen2/issues/1164 I hope others will have more useful answers. :-) 2) For that aspect I looked into a CITATION file I knew https://github.com/ropensci/bomrang/blob/master/inst/CITATION For finding the version it uses meta$Version. So your CITATION could e.g. become citHeader("To cite raytracing in publications use at least the first, if not both:") year <- sub("-.*", "", meta$Date) note <- sprintf("R package version %s", meta$Version) citEntry(entry = "manual", title = "raytracing: An R package for identification and tracking the atmospheric Rossby waves", author = personList(c(person("Amanda", "Rehbein"), person("Tercio", "Ambrizzi"), person("Sergio", "Ibarra-Espinosa"), person("Livia M. M.", "Dutra"))), year = year, url = "https://github.com/salvatirehbein/raytracing", note = note, textVersion = paste0("Rehbein, A., Ambrizzi, T., Ibarra-Espinosa, S., Dutra, L. M. M.: Rossby Wave Ray Tracing v", meta$Version, ". https://github.com/salvatirehbein/raytracing, ", year,".") ) citation(auto = meta) citFooter("Thanks") Maëlle. Den söndag 1 november 2020 21:29:54 CET, Amanda Rehbein <amanda.rehb...@usp.br> skrev: Dear R-Devs, I was wondering if someone could please help me to with two errors when submitting a package to CRAN. 1) At the DESCRIPTION file I added some DOI's with curled brackets "<>" inside the "<>" (e.g. <doi:10.1175/1520-0469(1981)038<1179:TSLROA>2.0.CO;2>). I tried URLencode() the string in R and copy/paste the output into the DESCRIPTION file, like this: <doi:10.1175/1520-0469(1981)038%3C1179:TSLROA%3E2.0.CO;2>. But when I load, build, check, etc, and ?raytracing the DOI does not appear correctly. Everything after the first "%" disappeared and obviously, the DOI doesn't work anymore. 2) I have a CITATION file at the sub-directory ins. Its content is like this: citHeader("To cite raytracing in publications use one of below:") citEntry(entry = "manual", title = "Atmospheric Rossby waves identification and tracking with a raytracing numerical model", author = personList(c(person("Amanda", "Rehbein"), person("Tercio", "Ambrizzi"), person("Sergio", "Ibarra-Espinosa"), person("Livia M. M.", "Dutra"))), year = "2020", url = "https://github.com/salvatirehbein/raytracing", textVersion = paste0("Rehbein, A., Ambrizzi, T., Ibarra-Espinosa, S., Dutra, L. M. M.: Atmospheric Rossby waves identification and tracking with a raytracing numerical model ", packageVersion("raytracing"), ". https://github.com/salvatirehbein/raytracing, 2020.") ) It passes all checks and gives a-okay citation when I type citation("raytracing"). However, it fails in the CRAN tests with the following error message. Reading CITATION file fails with there is no package called 'raytracing' when package is not installed. I will be very thankful for any help with this!
