[R] R CMD check

[Göran Broström]

I am developing an  R  package named MLife, which I have in several 
versions in a directory:

drwxrwxr-x    7 gb       gb           4096 Jan  5 22:27 ./
drwxrwxr-x   14 gb       gb           4096 Jan  1 18:34 ../
drwxr-xr-x    5 gb       gb           4096 Dec 31 17:48 0.75-26/
drwxr-xr-x    5 gb       gb           4096 Jan  5 22:23 0.75-27/
lrwxrwxrwx    1 gb       gb              7 Jan  5 21:56 MLife -> 0.75-27/

i.e., I make a symlink  'MLife'  to the latest version, and then I try

[gb at tal R]$ R CMD check MLife

and get

[...]
* checking DESCRIPTION Package field ... ERROR
* DESCRIPTION Package field differs from dir name
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
DESCRIPTION contains the package name  MLife. How should I best manage
this? Obviously, the 'dir name' is '0.75-27', and not 'MLife'.

To avoid confusion, if I _copy_ 0.75-27 to MLife, it works fine.
