Supplementary utils for CRAN maintainers and R packages developers. Validating the library, packages and lock files. Exploring a complexity of a specific package like evaluating its size in bytes with all dependencies. The shiny app complexity could be explored too. Assessing the life duration of a specific package version. Checking a CRAN package check page status for any errors and warnings. Retrieving a DESCRIPTION or NAMESPACE file for any package version. Comparing DESCRIPTION or NAMESPACE files between different package versions. Getting a list of all releases for a specific package. The Bioconductor is partly supported.

code files for non-ASCII characters
Found the following file with non-ASCII characters: Fatal error: cannot create 'R_TempDir' Portable packages must use only ASCII characters in their R code and NAMESPACE directives, except perhaps in comments. Use \uxxxx escapes for other characters. Function ‘tools::showNonASCIIfile’ can help in finding non-ASCII characters in files.
