Dear Bioconductor team,

We want to include the CoxBoost package;
But I found that this package is not available in Bioconductor or R cran.
Is there a way to include this package?

CoxBoost was removed from CRAN on 11-11-2020.  https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/CoxBoost/index.html

We only allow dependencies that are on CRAN and Bioconductor.   I would reach out to the CoxBoost maintainer to see if they will reinstate the package on CRAN.

The other option is to fix the CoxBoost package and resubmit to CRAN following their orphaned package guidelines

Dear Lori,
Thank you for responding to my e-mail.
I have contacted the maintainer of the CoxBoost package (Prof. Harald
Binder with e-mail: binderh at imbi.uni-freiburg.de).
And he is willing to get the package back on CRAN.
Thank you for all your help! Really appreciate it!

P. S. I also checked the R CMD report and found that most of errors or
notes are just version related.
If Prof. Harald is currently busy, I would like to fix it with all my
efforts.

Best regards,
