[R-pkg-devel] extra license (ODbL) on https://svn.r-project.org/R/trunk/share/licenses/license.db
Hi, I would like to add an R package to CRAN which is now available at github: https://github.com/jwijffels/BelgiumMaps.Admin The package contains data from OpenStreetMap which should be released under the Open Database license (ODbL 1.0) which can be found at http://opendatacommons.org/licenses/odbl/1-0/ Unfortunately ODbL is not part of https://svn.r-project.org/R/trunk/share/licenses/license.db So I presume it will be rejected by the CRAN policy which states that other licenses than in that license.db file will generally be rejected. Hence my question. What can I do to make ODbL part of https://svn.r-project.org/R/trunk/share/licenses/license.db thanks, Jan Jan Wijffels Statistician www.bnosac.be | +32 486 611708 [[alternative HTML version deleted]] __ R-package-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-package-devel
[R-pkg-devel] found ... marked UTF-8 strings
Dear, I trying to fix all notes from R CMD check on a package. The package contains a data.frame inside the data folder where character vectors in the dataset are set with an UTF-8 encoding. R CMD check gives me. * checking data for non-ASCII characters ... NOTE Note: found 1163 marked UTF-8 strings I would like to keep the strings as correctly encoded as UTF-8 instead of having to convert them to ASCII. Hence my questions: Question 1: What can I do to make this NOTE disappear? Now that http://win-builder.r-project.org/ with R-devel doesn't give me the NOTE, while with R-release, I'm still getting the NOTE. Question 2: Will the note disappear in the next release of R allowing to have encoded character strings in a data.frame in the data folder? thanks, Jan Jan Wijffels Statistician www.bnosac.be | +32 486 611708 [[alternative HTML version deleted]] __ R-package-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-package-devel
