rphylopic failing

[bschilder]

rphylopic is failing to run any of its examples, perhaps due to a change in the phylopic API.

library(rphylopic)
name_search(text = "Homo sapiens")

Error: Not Found (HTTP 404)

This causes orthogene to fail:

It may be the case that the development version of rphylopic (1.0.0) has since resolved this, but the latest CRAN release is rather behind (0.3.0). Will ping the maintainer to ask them to updated the CRAN version, which is required for Bioc packages.

The fix to rphylopic should be available on CRAN soon.

But there's still issues with ggtree, and ggimage which it relies on. ggimage has not yet updated to the new phylopic API...
Hopefully the authors will merge this PR ASAP, as the next bioc deadline is fast approaching:
GuangchuangYu/ggimage#45

Tried a workaround method by using geom_tiplab2(geom="image",...), but this caused other errors:
YuLab-SMU/ggtree#566

rphylopic is now fixed and pushed to CRAN:
palaeoverse/rphylopic#39

Now just waiting for ggtree and ggimage
