Current CRAN failures and potential removal

[topepo]

We've received:

Dear maintainers,

This concerns the CRAN packages

BayesPostEst IRexamples bayesrules brada eefAnalytics evidence fbst
rstanarm tidyposterior webSDM

maintained by one of you:

<snip>

We have asked for an update fixing the check problems shown at
https://www.google.com/url?q=https://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_rstanarm.html&source=gmail-imap&ust=1680500146000000&usg=AOvVaw1WRndPgFrCGTiD6V54PtpY
with no update from the maintainer thus far.

Thus, package rstanarm is now scheduled for archival on 2023-04-10, and
archiving this will necessitate also archiving its CRAN strong reverse
dependencies.

Please negotiate the necessary actions.

The CRAN Team

Is there anything that we can do? It looks like the issue list isn't terrible (and some are ignorable).

It would be good to know if fixes are in progress.

Thanks @topepo, I didn’t know about this. @bgoodri are you aware of this? did you get this email from CRAN?

Aside from the NOTEs, there's a donttest examples failure: https://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/bdr/donttest/rstanarm.out

I fixed that particular issue as part of #574. I'll extract the change to a standalone PR and address the other NOTEs as well

[andrjohns]

Just double-checking compatibility against 2.26 and 2.31 as well, might as well add the minimum updates needed for that too

[andrjohns]

@jgabry are we able to submit updates to CRAN if we can't get in touch with Ben before the archival deadline on the 10th?

[jgabry]

I actually talked to him yesterday. He’s aware of the situation and will merge your PRs and submit the release in time. Thanks for your help with this!
