Dear R developers,
I have several packages on CRAN and usually I can resolve all issues without bothering others in the mailing list. However, in this case I am stuck with the following note for
my package https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=FCPS which enables access to over 60 clustering algorithms with consistent input and output:
“
Found the following
(possibly) invalid URLs:
URL:
https://www.deepbionics.org/ (moved to
https://mthrun.github.io/index)
From:
DESCRIPTION
Status: 200
Message:
OK
Please change http --> https, add trailing
slashes, or follow moved content as
appropriate.
“
The URL https://www.deepbionics.org/ redirects currently to gihub.io. My problem with the proposed solution in the note is, that I will probably move the website again somewhere else in the future.
Adding slashes did not resolve the note. For the current update, I just deleted the URL, but someday I would like to update my other packages or this one again. Hence, I have to solve this issue permanently.
Thus, I would like to be able to link the packages to a stable URL and not update packages every time, I move the website.
Does someone know, how to resolve this issue?
Should I use another redirection option in the settings of my hosting provider?
Should I implement an entry website using my hosting provider for deepbioonics.org which redirects the user after 5 seconds to the current website?
Best Regards
Michael
