Install fails due to problem with DESCRIPTION file #9

Closed mtreg closed 7 years ago

Looks like when the e-mail address was removed from the DESCRIPTION, that causes an error during install tests. Relevant output is below:

* installing *source* package 'censusapi' ...
Error : Invalid DESCRIPTION file

Authors@R field gives no person with maintainer role, valid email
address and non-empty name.

See section 'The DESCRIPTION file' in the 'Writing R Extensions'
manual.

ERROR: installing package DESCRIPTION failed for package 'censusapi'

Oops, fixed with https://github.com/hrecht/censusapi/commit/c0b335cda0c241dc21e0c5caac8cfbd3fe89ac83 Can you try again and let me know if you're still getting the error?

Works again - thanks!
