Bad URLs in DESCRIPTION files
Hi Colin, I'm surprised this wasn't captured by the url checker on CRAN. Are you suggesting a new check on package descriptions for the urls present? In that case I guess it could be part of the standard R CMD check. Llu?s

Hi All, Just want to flag a few packages: MatrixLDA: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/MatrixLDA/index.html The URL is technically valid - ajmolstad at github.io/ - but returns a 404. Almost certainly a typo. redistmetrics: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/redistmetrics/index.html Not a valid URL: https::/github.com/alarm-redist/redistmetrics/ yarrr: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/yarrr/ It looks like a lapsed domain, and Cypro folks have grabbed it. Thanks Colin Ps I only found the last package because the name caught my attention
