[R-pkg-devel] Help for understanding CRAN rejection

[Matei Teleman]

Hello everyone,

I hope this email finds you well.

I’m sorry to bother you, it’s the very first time I’m submitting a package to CRAN.

Recently my submission got rejected with the following feedback:
Non-FOSS package license (file LICENSE)

   Suggests or Enhances not in mainstream repositories:
     velocyto.R

   Found the following (possibly) invalid URLs:
     URL: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/Seurat/index.html
       From: inst/doc/a_SuperCell.html
       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<https://cran.r-project.org/package=pkgname>


   Size of tarball: 9076436 bytes


Flavor: r-devel-linux-x86_64-debian-gcc, r-devel-windows-x86_64
Check: package dependencies, Result: NOTE
   Package suggested but not available for checking: ‘velocyto.R'


The license we’re using is the standard CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 and is listed among the accepted licenses for CRAN.

I fixed the URL issue but how can I make CRAN accept the package ?

Thank you advance for your time and your help !

Have a nice day.

Best Regards,

Matei Teleman
