Description
roxygen2 7.0.0 (2019-11-12) had the breaking change
- Using
@docType packageno longer automatically adds a-packagealias.
Instead document_PACKAGEto get all the defaults for package documentation
from 29db38f.
However, thousands of packages still use the old way (that was still recommended a year ago)
#' @docType package
#' @name pkgname
NULL
not being aware that they should
- either document the new "special sentinel"
_PACKAGE - or manually add
@aliases <pkgname>-package
because they no longer automatically get that alias that is required for a package overview page to be found via package?pkgname. As a consequence, CRAN now has thousands of packages where this help request no longer works.
Could roxygen2 warn users when there is a @docType package block without corresponding @aliases (and possibly recommend the new _PACKAGE feature)?
