RSocrata removed from CRAN #215

Closed ajlyons closed 1 year ago

ajlyons commented 1 year ago

As of 8/19/2023, RSocrata is no longer on CRAN due to 'repeated policy violation'. Hopefully that's a easy fix, because it's a critical package and installing from CRAN is a lot easier than installing from GH.

This has been resubmitted to CRAN and now we wait for a response.

In the last response there was an error, it appears they're still building on the old package (I missed the error because of how it was in the email).

However, there were also some notes which should be corrected, and I'm opening an issue to address those notes.

We will also resubmit and add comments to inform them of the issue with the tests that appear to be using a cached version of the package.

We received notification that RSocrata was heading back to CRAN. Will close when confirmed.
