Hello, I am trying to submit a new package to CRAN. I have fixed all warnings and errors, and have 1 Note remaining, which I can't get rid off. Here is the result: " New submission License components with restrictions and base license permitting such: BSD_3_clause + file LICENSE File 'LICENSE': Copyright (c) 2016, EXASOL AG Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without modification, are permitted provided that the following conditions are met: Redistributions of source code must retain the above copyright notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer.

Possibly misspelled words in DESCRIPTION: EXASOL (3:34, 13:18, 14:49, 18:27) EXASOL's (16:69) InDB (16:78) InMemory (18:40) MPP (18:70) RDBMS (18:49) SDK (3:22) TPC (19:47) analytical (20:17) multinode (15:76) onwards (14:76)
Flavor: r-devel-windows-ix86+x86_64 Check: compiled code, Result: NOTE File 'exasol/libs/x64/exasol.dll': Found non-API calls to R: 'R_new_custom_connection', 'Rf_set_iconv', 'dummy_fgetc', 'dummy_vfprintf' Compiled code should not call non-API entry points in R." Here my questions: 1. Is my understanding correct that I can ignore the "misspelled words" in DESCRIPTION? 2. Regarding the note: "Found non-API calls to R:". Our package uses the internal R connection API to exchange data between the EXASOL database and R clients. I saw that other packages do that, too; for example curl: https://github.com/jeroen/curl/blob/395fbcbc13ef7f38167d3837f50c3cad51902068/src/curl.c Is there a way to get a waiver for that Note, or is this an impediment for a CRAN submission? But if latter, why was it allowed to curl? Is there any way to proceed, any alternative public API which does the same maybe? (For the sake of completeness here is the source code which uses the R connection API: https://github.com/exasol/r-exasol/blob/main/src/r_exasol/rconnection/r_reader_connection.cpp https://github.com/exasol/r-exasol/blob/main/src/r_exasol/rconnection/r_writer_connection.cpp ) I really appreciate any help on this topic!!!
