Abort CRAN release for v0.3.0 #412

Closed joshwlambert closed 1 week ago

joshwlambert commented 1 week ago

{epiparameter} v0.3.0 was submitted to CRAN but was rejected due to its licensing:

A package can only be licensed as a whole. It can have a single license or a set of alternative licenes. If the data have to be licensed differently then the code, you have to provide the data in a separate data package with the other license.

Therefore, the v0.3.0 release is going ahead on GitHub, and the package code and data will be split. The {epiparameter} database will be in the {epiparameterDB} R package (a data package). The data will then be removed from {epiparameter} and the package will be relicensed solely under MIT to remove the blocker to CRAN.

This PR removes the CRAN installation instructions from the README and the CRAN release from the NEWS.md file, as well as removing cran-comments.md.
