Hi all,

Three months ago, I wrote to Martyn Plummer (to his Warwick email) and
offered my help to maintain and modernize this [1] rather updated
README, but received no response. Does anyone know how to reach him,
or maybe I should contact CRAN directly?

Regards,

Hi I?aki,

I don't want to presume to speak for Martyn, but do know from R Foundation interactions, that between his move back to the UK and other things, he has been very busy.

I am copying him here, and hopefully as his schedule permits, he can respond.

Regards,

Marc Schwartz

Thanks Marc. We appreciate it.

I obviously meant **rather outdated**.

Hi I?aki,
  just tangentially related to this subject, what is the status of the copr that you have 
related with automatic build of R packages?

Best regards,

Hi, Jos?, the Copr repo is working great! I wrote a brief note about
it [1], and the README contains further details [2]. I use it in all
my machines and the servers I maintain, and I'm very happy with it.
Every day, a GitHub action checks which packages where
updated/added/archived on CRAN and triggers the corresponding builds.
