[R-pkg-devel] Used package not updated - needs java < V 11
Thank you for your answer, I tested WriteXLS and openxlsx ... but it is perl based and most of the Windows user do not have perl installed. Therefore I would change the missing XlConnect with missing Perl library. And that is more complicated, because the user has to add something on operating system level. No chance f.e on University cip pools and users unfamiliar with operating systems at all -> gdata - I will check how to change it Thank you Knut Am 15.12.20 um 15:43 schrieb Spencer Graves:
???? I suggest NOT using "XLConnect".? "sos" now uses WriteXLS. "Ecfun" now uses "openxlsx". ????? Also, I received an email from CRAN maintainers months ago saying that "gdata" was being obsoleted.? It's still on CRAN with a date of 2017-06-06 and a huge number of reverse dependencies.? The CRAN maintainers may have gotten someone to agree to take it over who just hasn't finished fixing whatever deficiencies it has.? However, you might see how difficult it might be to do without "gdata" as well. ????? Spencer Graves
