RSelenium is archived on CRAN and not available anymore #227

Closed khufkens closed 4 years ago

khufkens commented 4 years ago

RSelenium is unnecessarily archived on CRAN, which causes delisting of other packages further down stream. Simple resubmission should suffice, as this is a wdman dependency issue. Sadly, CRAN (Brian Ripley?) was probably too quick to jump the gun on archiving wdman I assume.

The maintainer is working on it, should be submitted soon.

Thanks. Didn't want to put any additional pressure, just wanted to put out a reminder because things didn't get reinstated.

They were just a bit to quick to make things defunct down the chain I think, without a fallback to leave things be if need be.

Yeah the CRAN maintainers don't have much patience or grace for package authors unfortunately. But hopefully everything will be back online very soon.

It has been online since Feb 3; this issue should be closed.
