How to remove a package? #7

Closed llrs closed 4 months ago

llrs commented 4 months ago

I recently saw the README about just doing one submission to be included and all the new releases will be automatically added.

But how could one request to archive a package? Does the bot handle it or would this require manual intervention?

I ask this specially given that some discussions pointed to the problems of depending in packages that depend on packages in other repositories, and maintainer might move let's say from the company repository to the project repository (with collaborators).

Anyone can submit a pull request to remove any package's listing. If any files are modified or deleted in the pull request (e.g. they are not simple additions), these are always flagged for manual review. That gives moderators a chance to find the true maintainer and confirm the decision.

I tried to do a better job of explaining it in https://github.com/r-releases/help/blob/one-time-registration/README.md#how-to-edit-or-remove-packages, currently part of https://github.com/r-releases/help/pull/5. But if you think of a better way to explain it, a PR would be great.

Fixed in #5.
