According to https://www.w3.org/TR/WD-html40-970708/htmlweb.html, "URLs in general are case-sensitive", it's not only a CRAN thing. Your vignette will be shipped with the package, hence if a user has a case-insensitive file system (like macOS has by default), your workaround would not work (see also Section 1.1 in "Writing R Extensions").
In my opinion the only solution is to fix the links, or go back to the old case. There are plenty of tools around to replace all occurrences of "Introduction.html" to "introduction.html" within your package. Of course that doesn't work for all other links pointing to "Introduction.html" that float around the web… Best, David On Mon, Aug 2, 2021 at 3:21 PM Dominic Comtois <dominic.comt...@gmail.com> wrote: > I changed my "Introduction.html" vignette's name to > "introduction.html", realizing only after the fact that CRAN's URLs > are case sensitive. > > Would the solution of adding to my package's source a new > Introduction.html file pointing to introduction.html using a <meta > http-equiv="refresh" ...> be a viable one?
