Call for maintainer - Githubissues

ranghetti commented 1 year ago

{MODIStsp} was mainly written by @lbusett (I collaborated as secondary author), who also took care of the rOpenSci submission; I am maintaining it since Lorenzo passed away one year ago. Now, due to a career change, unfortunately I can no longer provide assistance for this package; for this reason I am limiting my activity to urgent maintainance, while a bot autocloses the most of the issues to inform users that their questions can not receive an answer.

This is unpleasant; so, as suggested by @maelle in #260, I am opening this issue to search for a co-maintainer (or a maintainer).

{MODIStsp} is in a stable development stage, so there is no need to implement new features. Required actions would be related to:

provide assistance to users (currently the bot is autoclosing requests as in #254);
managing eventual USGS server-side changes, like in #257 (actually a rare event);
managing new-archived MODIS products (e.g. #237 - a current TODO list is in #238).

I thank rOpenSci staff for the possibility to receive support, and in particular @maelle and everyone who will accept this call for help.

Hi,

I could help with the "Update products" task.

ranghetti commented 7 months ago

As done for package {sen2r} I definitively have to leave the maintenance of R packages I contributed to. {MODIStsp} will be removed from CRAN; I leave @maelle managing this call for a maintainer.

Once again, my thanks to rOpenSci community.

I have been actively using MODIStsp for 2 years now and while I might not be able to do any major development for this - most probably it would need any major development either - I could be able to support it and update products when needed. Therefore I could try taking the maintainer role for this package,

@pkautio sorry for missing this! Thanks so much for volunteering. Could you please send me an email to maelle@ropensci.org so that I might know to which email address to send a Slack invitation in particular?

Dear pkautio,

Thanks so much to maintain MODIStsp, it is a very useful package! I do not have sufficient coding experience to commit to the code but I can carry out testing. I tried to install your last update of the package (version 2.20 using httr2) using the source code MODIStsp-2.1.0.tar.gz but I get the following error.

Installing package into ‘/home/jf/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/4.4’ (as ‘lib’ is unspecified) Warning in untar2(tarfile, files, list, exdir, restore_times) : skipping pax global extended headers
