stop("Error: need training data for PHMRC data, possible training data could be obtained at http://ghdx.healthdata.org/record/population-health-metrics-research-consortium-gold-standard-verbal-autopsy-data-2005-2011")

I like this message; however, what happens if the URL goes out of date? Have you noticed movement on the GHDx website in the past? We'd suggest either just marking this down in your records as something to stay on top of, or abstracting the message to direct to the parent site and maybe including the specific url with a last checked date.

It should be permanent link, but not in our hands, what would you suggest to add in this code?

Hm, the easiest thing to do for now might be just to add to the stop message something like "This link is current as of XX date" just so it's clear to the end user?
