CRAN update timeline? #21

Closed tanho63 closed 2 years ago

tanho63 commented 3 years ago

Hiya! I was hoping to submit a package to CRAN that depended on a feature that was added in #20 - do you know when the next version of this package will be updated there?

Thank you so much!

guga31bb commented 2 years ago

Also interested in this- thank you!

clauswilke commented 2 years ago

Yeah, sorry, I know I need to update on CRAN. I hope I'll find a little bit of free time over the holidays to get this done.

saiemgilani commented 2 years ago

Well I'll save these memes I made then. Appreciate the response!

Hey @clauswilke I just found that the CRAN version of gridtext is producing improperly kerned text in R 4.2 when plot.title = element_markdown(face = "bold"). The github version fixes this, but many of the systems in my org can only install from CRAN, not GitHub. That's breaking a bunch of themes used on my team. Is there anything I could do to help get gridtext submitted to CRAN?

clauswilke commented 2 years ago

@bwiernik Yeah, I know, it needs updating. I have been super busy lately and just never get around to submitting it to CRAN. Realistically, if somebody motivated wanted to take over maintainership that might help. I don't see myself working much on this particular package in the foreseeable future and would be happy to hand it over to somebody who is more on top of things.

bwiernik commented 2 years ago

@clauswilke I'd be happy to handle the CRAN admin stuff if you're open to answering my technical questions about grid when they come up

clauswilke commented 2 years ago

Ok, how should we proceed? Should I give you write access to this repo? This will allow you to do everything you need to do, I think, including updating the web page (since it's hosted from this repo). There's also the ggtext package, which probably should go hand-in-hand (even though I don't think it needs updating at this time).

I'm happy to answer questions or otherwise help out. I just don't have a lot of time to put towards this in terms of developing new features and/or dealing with staying on top of CRAN issues.

bwiernik commented 2 years ago

Sure, if you give me write access to the two repos, I can update the maintainer and submit the update the CRAN

bwiernik commented 2 years ago

@clauswilke i submitted the packages to CRAN. When you have a moment, could you respond to the Maintainer Change emails you received from CRAN?

clauswilke commented 2 years ago

I did already do that this morning. Did it not work?

bwiernik commented 2 years ago

It worked, no worries. Both packages on their way to cran

guga31bb commented 2 years ago

Thank you for getting this done!
