Packages with incorrect GitHub addresses

[steffilazerte]

I found two packages in the roregistry registry.json file with incorrect GitHub addresses:

        name                          github
1 commonmark  https://github.github.com/gfm/  # Should be https://github.com/r-lib/commonmark
2       gert https://docs.ropensci.org/gert/  # Should be https://github.com/r-lib/gert

Thank you!

codemetar gives priority to URLs in DESCRIPTION so it picks up the first correct looking one... whereas pkgdown gives more weight to the issue tracker field.

One possible fix: changing DESCRIPTION as in https://github.com/r-lib/commonmark/pull/27

Another fix: special-case these repos in makeregistry.

Yet another fix: suggest updating the logic of {codemetar} and {codemetar}

@jeroen, what do you think?

[jeroen]

I think codemetar should be smart enough to see that the URL in BugReports is a GitHub URL, and the other ones are not.

Actually codemetar is smart enough so it must be a makeregistry problem (codemeta makes the mistake but that's another problem https://github.com/cboettig/codemeta/issues/19 as we don't use it in makeregistry)

[maelle]

ah we do use codemeta :joy:

@steffilazerte how urgently do you need the fix?

[steffilazerte]

Not urgent, I have an easy workaround for now
