Dear professor Pebesma,
Thank you for responding to my request. I don't know how to reach Seong-yun
outside of github and his email. I hope that he sees this thread and lets
us know if he agrees with us taking over maintenance or if he has other
wishes.
I see your PR on GH but I don't seem to have write access to merge it. What
would be the correct way of continue the work? Could we work from a
forked repo?
Yes; the code is GPL so that is allowed.
If someone different from the current maintainer would want to submit it
to CRAN then they should give the package a different name; see
https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/policies.html
Kind regards
Guilherme

Dear Guilherme, I made a minimal PR here:
https://github.com/syunhong/seg/pull/3
which makes the package pass R CMD check again; it needs some more work
to clean examples. I'd be willing to help with the sp -> sf transition.
The maintainer (Cc:) seems unresponsive on GH, how do you want to deal
with that? Maybe give them a call?
Many regards,

Hi all
The seg package, that implements spatial segregation measures of various
kinds has been abandoned by its previous developer and kicked out from
CRAN
for not passing its tests. Worse yet, other packages that implemented the
same segregation indices (like OasisR) depend on seg.
The previous maintainer does not respond anymore to the issue threads on
github and Roger Bivand suggested to me that I ask here if anyone is
interested in taking over the maintenance.
The main issue with the package is that it relied on spgrass6. That has
been fixed since then by the former maintainer but it still doesn't pass
the checks at CRAN. It also looks like it could use changing
documentation
to Roxygen and finalizing its transition from using sp to using sf
objects.
I am up to helping out with these tasks but my R skills are not the most
advanced, and would prefer to do it with someone more knowledgeable. Is
there anybody interested in joining me for that?
Cheers
Guilherme Chihaya
