Hmm. Maybe there's something region-specific? From Canada, it works
for me from Firefox or Chromium ...

Hello, All:
TWO QUESTIONS:
1. HOW TO FIX "Number of redirects hit maximum amount"?
I guess you need a different URL.
Have you tried in a web browser? Firefox tells me locally "redirection
error" (translated from German) and I cannot see any web page. So this
URL seems to need a change.
Best,
Uwe Ligges
For the Ecdat package, CRAN reported, "Number of redirects hit maximum
amount [www.cde.ca.gov]". Uwe Ligges asked, "Please fix and resubmit."
be th
"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
[email protected] 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

Please correct before 2025-09-30 to safely retain your package on CRAN.
Note that this will be the *final* reminder.
Best wishes,
