License in at least one of package is wrong. I haven't checked the others but if they are generated by your script you might want to look into it. In r-tidyverse, license is specified as "GPL-3 | file LICENSE" which doesn't exists.
Instead of "license=('GPL-3 | file LICENSE')" use "license=('GPL3' 'custom')" if there are other custom licenses involved. "license" in the PKGBUILD is an array so each license has to be specified separately.
Thanks. I've been meaning to look into this. I'm pretty sure that "GPL-3 or file LICENSE" just means GPL3 for most of them, but that they also bundle the GPL file. That's the case for r-tidyverse, for example. I just need to come up with a way to check it for the other 12,500 packages.
Also consider adopting the r-cran-* packages or ask the maitainers to convert them to r-$modulename since it will be consistant with what was discussed earlier.
I've adopted some that were very outdated and renamed them already. I'll email the other maintainers to see if they'll rename.
