[Bioc-devel] rworkflows temporary CRAN removal and next steps

Thank you for the suggestion, Ivan. I will use that function going forward.

At the time, the maintainer was away on leave. As I was not listed as a maintainer, I did not receive any notifications about this.

I wish it were possible to have more than one maintainer!

Kind regards,
Hiru

However, it is unclear whether this NOTE was the cause of the
deprecation.

That must have been the case:

tools:::CRAN_package_issues() |> subset(Package == 'rworkflows') |>
tail(1)
#               ID    Package                Date From     Before
# 22099 2026.15520 rworkflows 2026-02-16 10:20:07  BDR 2026-03-02
#                   Title Label Info
# 22099 Additional_issues  <NA> <NA>

Did an e-mail from around 16th of February land in the spam folder?

In the future, it may help to set up a periodic check to warn in case
subset(tools::CRAN_package_db(), Package == 'rworkflows', 'Deadline')
stops being NA.
