Hello, All:
TWO QUESTIONS:
1. HOW TO FIX "Number of redirects hit maximum amount"?
For the Ecdat package, CRAN reported, "Number of redirects hit maximum
amount [www.cde.ca.gov]". Uwe Ligges asked, "Please fix and resubmit."
"www.cde.ca.gov" works for me when I enter it into a browser. Moreover,
that URL was unchanged after the page appeared. Also, I've looked for
tools to trace redirects and have so far been unable to find any that
find any redirect from "www.cde.ca.gov".
2. GITHUB ACTION WITH "--as-cran"?
Is there a way to modify GitHub Action so "R CMD check --as-cran" runs
on one of the platforms?
** I'm currently concerned about "https://github.com/sbgraves237/Ecdat";
FYI: "R CMD check --as-cran Ecdat_0.4.6.tar.gz" on my local computer a
few minutes ago found several "(possibly) invalid URLs", none of which
reported "Number of redirects hit maximum amount". Also,
"www.cde.ca.gov" was NOT flagged this time.
Should I just document this in "cran-comments.md" and hope for the best?
Thanks, Spencer Graves

Dear CRAN team:
I'm confused: The link below is for an earlier version of Ecdat, 0.4-2.
On 8/27/25, 17:31 Central I received an email from lig...@statistik.tu-
dortmund.de Subject: [CRAN-pretest-inspect-recheck] CRAN Submission
Ecdat 0.4-5.
The first complaint in the link below says, "No Authors@R field in
DESCRIPTION." Tests on other platforms complained, "Lost braces"
following \doi. Those were fixed in 0.4-5.
I also submitted cran-comments.md, which identified two other problems I
thought I had fixed.
HOWEVER, I am working on another version and will submit that version
before 2025-09-30.
Thanks,
Spencer Graves

Dear maintainer,
Please see the problems shown on
<https://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_Ecdat.html>.
Please correct before 2025-09-30 to safely retain your package on CRAN.
Note that this will be the *final* reminder.
Best wishes,
The CRAN Team
