[R-pkg-devel] Question about CRAN submission resulting in 1 note

[Chris Knoll]

Hello,

I'm tryign to resolve a note that is preventing my cran submission. This is from the detail log:


Flavor: r-devel-linux-x86_64-debian-gcc, r-devel-windows-x86_64
Check: CRAN incoming feasibility, Result: NOTE
  Maintainer: 'Chris Knoll <cknoll using ohdsi.org>'

  New submission

  Package has a VignetteBuilder field but no prebuilt vignette index.

  Package has FOSS license, installs .class/.jar but has no 'java' directory.

  Found the following (possibly) invalid URLs:
    URL: http://ohdsi.github.io/CirceR/ (moved to https://ohdsi.github.io/CirceR/)
      From: README.md
      Status: 301
      Message: Moved Permanently
    URL: https://codecov.io/github/OHDSI/CirceR?branch=main (moved to https://app.codecov.io/github/OHDSI/CirceR?branch=main)
      From: README.md
      Status: 301
      Message: Moved Permanently
    URL: https://www.github.com/OHDSI/circe-be (moved to https://github.com/OHDSI/circe-be)
      From: README.md
      Status: 301
      Message: Moved Permanently
    For content that is 'Moved Permanently', please change http to https,
    add trailing slashes, or replace the old by the new URL.


The URL changes are easy enough, but I'm curious about the first 2 notes:

For "Package has VignetteBuilder field but no prebuilt vignette index", how would this be resolved?

For "Package ahs FOSS license, installs .class/.jar but has no 'java directory'':  This is custom code that I've written in Java plus has a few maven dependencies and I'm not sure if they are asking me to bundle the source code of all Java dependencies (that have classes in the jar file).   That could be hard to do, and was hoping if anyone had experience in this, is it enough to put into the Readme where such source code could be found?

Thank you for your guidance.

-Chris
