Rafael,
I believe the issue is that packages cannot include binary *executables.* If
you have a binary file (such as a parquet file) in inst/extdata, I do not
think that would be a problem. It would be a good idea to ensure that that
file is small, though. I think downloading a file is a big no no to be ran
on CRAN machines. I would personally advise against downloading anything.
Same from here:
meant are files containing executable code such as shared or statically
linked libraries, executables etc.
Binary data files are permitted.
Best,

ello,
I have added some functions to read binary files in my asteRisk package.
The binary files that are read contain just arrays of coefficients and
metadata about these.
I would like to provide a small file of these to be used in the examples
of the man page for the functions that read them. However, section 1.1 of
"Writing R Extensions” states that no binary files are accepted in
submissions to CRAN (https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-exts.html)
I was wondering if it would be acceptable to download the example file to
a temporary file in the example themselves (and in fact, also in unit
tests), and then read it from there?
I could not find any statement against this in “Writing R Extensions”, but
I would like to confirm that this is OK to do before submitting an updated
version of the package to CRAN.
Thanks a lot in advance
Best wishes,
Rafa
