CRAN unarchival

[zeileis]

Keven & David, as you may have seen, nse was archived on CRAN because an e-mail was undeliverable to the maintainer address: https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=nse. It would be great if you could update the maintainer address and release a new version of the package. Thanks in advance!

This might be related, but I was just setting up R on an Apple Silicon machine:

R version 4.2.1 (2022-06-23) -- "Funny-Looking Kid"
Copyright (C) 2022 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing
Platform: aarch64-apple-darwin20 (64-bit)

When I tried to add the package, I got:

install.packages("nse")
Warning in install.packages :
package ‘nse’ is not available for this version of R
A version of this package for your version of R might be available elsewhere,
see the ideas at
https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-patched/R-admin.html#Installing-packages

@gideonsimpson it's because we need to release "nse" again; I am currently on vacation, Maybe @keblu has time in the coming days

@gideonsimpson You can still install the last version from the CRAN archive directly:

install.packages("https://CRAN.R-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/nse/nse_1.20.tar.gz")

The main disadvantage is that package dependencies are not resolved automatically. So you might have to install some of nse's dependencies by hand.

@ArdiaD & @keblu The CRAN web page says:

Archived on 2022-08-12 as email to the maintainer is undeliverable.

Given that the last archived CRAN check results are all "OK", it seems to me that you essentially just need to replace hec with usherbrooke in Keven's maintainer address, increase version/date, and resubmit to CRAN.

@ArdiaD & @keblu Do you plan to address this problem or not? The fix seems straightforward so the question is whether you intend to continue maintaining the package (on CRAN). If so, it would be much appreciated.

[ArdiaD]

@zeileis yes, we intend to relase a new version. Sorry for the delay. Will be fixed in the coming days @keblu

[ArdiaD]

ON CRAN @zeileis ; sorry for the delay. thx @keblu
