[R-pkg-devel] Mis-spelled word with winbuilder
I'm checking my package with winbuilder and get one NOTE: * checking CRAN incoming feasibility ... NOTE Maintainer: 'Göran Broström ' Possibly mis-spelled words in DESCRIPTION: piecewise (9:43) How should it be spelled? I have googled 'piecewise' and it seems to be widely used with that spelling. Thanks, Göran __ R-package-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-package-devel

That's fine, it's just that it's not in Win-builder's reference dictionary. There are quite a few technical words missing there, so we get a number of false positives. You'll also see reports about proper names. CRAN asks that software names be quoted (in single quotes). In particular, R package names should be quoted. Proper names of people and things other than software do not need to be quoted. Duncan Murdoch __ R-package-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-package-devel

In the interests of avoiding something that may change in future if CRAN is
restructured, would it be sufficient to include the link to the vignette on the
project home page you put in the DESCRIPTION file URL?
Or perhaps you could sidestep cran URL checking by using a bit.ly link
pointed at your vignette, or similar redirect... that might even be
easier to maintain if you move your vignette.

In other words, try to mislead CRAN. If you are caught doing that, you won't get much sympathy in the future. Why not just link to the copy of the vignette that is distributed with the package? That will work even if your Internet connection doesn't. Just use a relative URL. To link from vignette1.html to vignette2.html, use URL "vignette2.html". They'll be installed in the same directory when the package is installed, so the relative link will work.

Update: The https://cran.r-project.org/package=NAME/ syntax works now and is accepted.
