Package no longer on CRAN #92

Closed jjvenky closed 4 years ago

jjvenky commented 4 years ago

CRAN now shows than weathercan has been removed https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/weathercan/index.html

"Archived on 2020-01-10 for policy violation."

Any idea what happened?

steffilazerte commented 4 years ago

Yes, there was a miscommunication, the package had passed checks and was on it's way to CRAN, but at some point between Jan 7th and 10th, it failed again. For some reason I didn't get another notice about this failure so it was removed. I've been away at a funeral, so haven't been able to address the problems. I'm now back, though, so hopefully I'll be able to get it back on CRAN within a day or so! Thanks for checking in.

Thanks for the update @steffilazerte. Sorry about the funeral.

Remember that the package can still be installed via:

install.packages("devtools") # If not already installed
devtools::install_github("ropensci/weathercan")

Thanks for the update- would the version through devtools would have updated data?

boshek commented 4 years ago

@AmeerDotHydro Can you be more specific? weathercan itself stores very little data and accesses most of it via the web

AmeerDotHydro commented 4 years ago

@boshek - sorry for the confusion. I just tested the package and all looks good to me.

weathercan v0.3.3 is up on CRAN, thanks for you patience!
