[R-pkg-devel] Fix non-ASCII characters in R packages

[Uwe Ligges]

OK, but this note did not lead to a rejection (and the mail we sent did 
not even include the Note you apparently cited from the check.log)

The actual issues are:


   Found the following (possibly) invalid URLs:
     URL: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/geobr/index.html
       From: README.md
             NEWS.md
       Status: 200
       Message: OK
       CRAN URL not in canonical form

     URL: 
https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/geobr/vignettes/intro_to_geobr.html
       From: README.md
       Status: 200
       Message: OK
       CRAN URL not in canonical form

     The canonical URL of the CRAN page for a package is
       https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=pkgname


Flavor: r-devel-linux-x86_64-debian-gcc, r-devel-windows-ix86+x86_64
Check: for hidden files and directories, Result: NOTE
   Found the following hidden files and directories:
     .travis.yml
   These were most likely included in error. See section 'Package
   structure' in the 'Writing R Extensions' manual.



Best,
Uwe Ligges
