Malformed DESCRIPTION #2

Open

@Enchufa2

Description

From R CMD check --as-cran:

* checking CRAN incoming feasibility ... NOTE

The Title field is just the package name: provide a real title.

The Title field should be a short description of the package.

* checking DESCRIPTION meta-information ... NOTE
Malformed Description field: should contain one or more complete sentences. 

Current Description should be in Title, and Description should provide a comprehensive description of the package.

License components which are templates and need '+ file LICENSE':
  MIT

Should be MIT + LICENSE file, and an appropriate LICENSE file should be present.

Author field differs from that derived from Authors@R
  Author:    ‘Carlos J. Gil Bellosta[aut, cre] Nuno Carvalho[aut]’
  Authors@R: ‘Carlos J. Gil Bellosta [aut, cre], Nuno Carvalho [aut]’

Maintainer field differs from that derived from Authors@R
  Maintainer: ‘Nuno Carvalho <[email protected]>’
  Authors@R:  ‘Carlos J. Gil Bellosta <[email protected]>’

If Authors@R is present, then Author and Maintainer are automatically derived from there, so both fields should be removed. Also there's a discrepancy: if you are the maintainer, you should be marked as [aut, cre], not Carlos.

Finally, packages cannot depend on a patch release. Depends: R (>= 3.3.1) should be Depends: R (>= 3.3.0) instead.
