[R-pkg-devel] Package ‘wflo’ was removed from the CRAN repository.
Hi, I would still submit the package: First I agree with Ben that the note is worth fixing (and easily enough you just need to remove rgdal from your Description if it is not used.) Second, and more important, because perhaps in the 9 months since the last check changes in r-devel or quality checks might currently cause the package to fail the checks. The idea behind CRAN, and packages repositories like it (Bioconductor), is that packages in them should work together. Sometimes this makes it easier for developers to write more complex packages but dependencies have their own cost such as this situation. You can share your package via other methods but usually users install packages from repositories. Cheers, Llu?s

NOTE definitely seems like something CRAN would object to, so you should
fix it before resubmitting ...)
good luck,

Hi Llu?s, thanks for the clarification. And kudos to your detective flair. I?m
serious about that, as I would never have found out about this chain of events.
Well, there are no error or warnings to fix, so I think it would be best
if someone from the CRAN team could ?unarchive? wflo since there is no problem there and none of the events that were set in motion were due to any of my doings. Actually, I don?t really agree to have to resubmit, and my time for doing so is very limited. Maybe in the next few weeks or so.

Hi Carsten, This seems to be an unfortunate chain of events between different
packages: RcppMLPACK -> emstreeR -> wflo
Package RcppMLPACK was archived on 2021-12-20 as issues were not
corrected despite reminders.
This resulted in the package emstreeR being archived on 2021-12-20 as
requires archived package 'RcppMLPACK'.
Which also resulted in your package, wflo, being archived. Later, emstreeR was unarchived on 2022-03-21 after a successful
submission improving the dependencies (probably removing the dependency to RcppMLPACK).
You can see the source of this info on
About the emails, usually maintainers whose package depends on a package
that is about to be removed receive an email with a date by which they should fix the problems.
But, as I am not part of the CRAN team I cannot check it. I would recommend preparing a new submission with all the errors and
warnings fixed.
Note that I think the package will be checked as a new package. Best, Llu?s On Thu, 22 Sept 2022 at 13:17, Carsten Croonenbroeck <

Hi, I was really, really, really surprised to learn today that my package
?wflo? was removed from CRAN almost a year ago!
Telling from the output at https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=wflo,
this is due to my package being ?Archived on 2021-12-20 as requires archived package 'emstreeR'.? However, emstreeR is in no way archived (see https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=emstreeR). Clicking ?check results archive?, it says that there is only a note
Result: NOTE
Namespace in Imports field not imported from: ?rgdal?
All declared Imports should be used.
which is indeed correct, I don?t use rgdal anymore. What now, remove the
rgdal import and resubmit? How come I wasn?t informed, my E-Mail is running perfectly. Very puzzling?
Best
Carsten
