Hi,
I am systematically going through the packages that I maintain on CRAN
to clean up some administrative details. Specifically, I am (1) changing
all DESCRIPTION files to use Authirs@R, (2) updating the links in man
files to include package anchors, and (3) making sure that the output of
calls to summary in test scripts don't break (i.e., mismatch the saved
test output) in the 4.5.0 release candidate.
Not surprisingly, this process also finds other issues. Right now,I am
looking at the package BimodalIndex. The version currently on CRAN (v.
1.1.9) includes the following URL:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2730180/
On first checking the package, I get informed that this URL has
"permanently moved" to:
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2730180/
The fix seems simple, so I edited the DESCRIPTION file to use the new
URL instead of the old one. Then I submitted the newly built version
(1.1.11) to both the current release and the development release at
winbuilder before submitting the update to CRAN. R version 4.4.3 comes
back with a 00check.log that is absolutely "OK". No errors, warnings, or
notes. But version R 4.5.0 RC comes back with;
(possibly) invalid URL. Status: 403 Message: Forbidden
I copied the URL as reported in the error message, pasted it into my
browser, and it worked just fine.
Can I assume that this is just something weird about the corresponding
winbuilder server at the moment, and go ahead and submit the package? Or
is there some mysterious change in R 4.5 lurking somewhere that I need
to deal with?
Thanks,
Kevin
