bioRad and vol2birdR archived on CRAN

[peterdesmet]

bioRad and vol2birdR are both archived on CRAN because of policy violations (since July):

https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/bioRad/index.html

https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/vol2birdR/index.html

bioRad has an ERROR and NOTE in some builds. The ERROR is likely caused by vol2birdR being archived.
vol2birdR has NOTEs throughout and one ERROR (installation failed).

@iskandari @adokter is this something that can be resolved?

Most of the issue seems to be vol2birdR right? As it is not available it can't test the bioRad package correctly.

That's unfortunate, I got this email over the weekend that suggests how to fix - they wrote the deadline was July 19 but apparently the archiving happened instantaneously :( :

Dear maintainer,

Please correct before 2024-07-19 to safely retain your package on CRAN.

Packages in Suggests should be used conditionally: see 'Writing R Extensions'.
This needs to be corrected even if the missing package(s) become available.
It can be tested by checking with R_CHECK_DEPENDS_ONLY=true.

There is also

• checking for new files in some other directories ... NOTE
  Found the following files/directories:
  ‘~/volume.h5’

From

#Copy the file to a home directory with read/write permissions
file.copy(pvolfile, "~/volume.h5")

That is a CRAN policy violation, so the package has been archives.

And this issue needs to be addressed as well:
