Why is he allowed to get away with it?


So one thing to keep in mind that doing volunteer public facing work tends 
to expose people to all kinds of unreasonable requests.


Those who endure often become more direct, and that's fine. Or, and 
people in commercial companies can be very direct too.


One thing that helps is to be extra-polite to a person who is doing a lot 
of volunteer work, and who is likely way oversubscribed.


Focusing on practical matters, if you take a step back things look 
pretty good:


Your package has dependency on a package that you have not written and
that is maintained outside CRAN. It was bound to break sooner or later.

However, the last time you updated bioOED was in 2019 and there was no 
need to do anything for more than 3 years. That's amazing ! And probably 
made possible by being a little bit too direct on occasion.

2023-11-03 Thread David Hugh-Jones
Guys,

Martin, I am very sorry you spent all that time. I am sceptical that this
is a correct interpretation of the law, given what I see on Twitter daily,
and I would not take a university as an authority on this. But that is
neither here nor there – if I made you waste your time, that's my bad and
I'm sorry.

More generally, I have absolutely no wish to spend time beating up on any
individual – and people have kindly sent comments off-list that gave me
context about the specific case. But persistent rudeness is harmful, and
there ought to be a way to address it. Many projects use codes of conduct
for this purpose.

2023-11-03 Thread Martin Maechler
Dear R-package-devel readers *and* notably writers,

In Europe there are (diverse) laws about privacy etc, and those,
(and/or some politeness) do not allow
free citing of private e-mail communications in public
nor ad hominem remarks in such public communication.

For this reason, I (as mailing list co-maintainer, and notably
responsible for the lawfulness of the public mailing list archives on
our web server) now spent about 2 hours  to carefully obey such
privacy requirements (carefully editing + recreating all the html archives).
{In another similar case, my employer, ETH Zurich, did urge me
"from above" to spend my time with such a tedious and ungratifying job ...}
This is *NOT* something I'd be happy to redo.

So *please* do not misuse such a public mailing list and do keep
your private opinions private in such a case in the future!

Dear Alberto,

I have had a small number of CRAN-related email exchanges with Brian 
Ripley that made it clear that his idea of politeness and my idea of 
politeness are incompatible. The email you are quoting reminds me very 
much of these exchanges.


But I try to be pragmatic about it. It’s not the end of the world if my 
packages are not on CRAN for a couple of weeks. In the end, they were 
archived because tests were failing and they were always (re-)accepted 
into CRAN once the automatic tests passed again. No personal matters 
involved.


Brian Ripley has certainly contributed a lot to R. As a package 
maintainer, I am also contributing my share, especially towards my own 
discipline, and so are you. That is why there is contact in the first 
place. I wouldn't care too much whether or not that allows either of us 
to consider the other a peer.


I don’t know why your package appears to have been archived two days 
early. But otherwise I agree with Tomas and Duncan. There is a clear 
path forward for your package. Based on my own experience, there is no 
reason to believe that it will be rejected by CRAN on personal grounds, 
once the automatic tests pass.

I don't think this is true. The reason is that your package depends on
an unavailable package, so cannot be installed. See

reason is publicly stated.

If I were you I'd simply wait once MEIGOR is on CRAN and then publish

I agree with that interpretation.  A possibly faster alternative would 
be to remove the dependence on MEIGOR, and resubmit once that is done

[R-pkg-devel] Package bioOED has been removed from CRAN just for personal reasons

2023-11-01 Thread Alberto Garre
Dear community,

I feel dismay for having to write this email, but the issue must be brought
up. On the 20th of October, I received an email from CRAN warning me of an
issue with one of the packages I maintain (bioOED). The package depended on
MEIGOR, a package that was no longer available in Bioconductor. I was given
until 2023-11-03 to fix the issue.

I contacted the MEIGOR maintainers and they told me they were migrating to
CRAN. Yesterday, they contacted me again, telling me they needed more time
for the migration. Hence, I responded to the email I received from CRAN,
asking for an extension of the previous deadline (2023-11-03).

To my surprise, it is not just that the extension was not granted, but the
package has been removed from CRAN today (2023-11-01). Two days before the
deadline (2023-11-03): https://cran.r-project.org/package=bioOED

Then, I checked my inbox and I saw an email from one of the CRAN
maintainers, showing that the package was removed because he had felt
offended by my email. I copy-paste the email below.

I understand that maintaining CRAN must be a huge work. I also work in
academia, so I am totally aware of all the extra work that is required from
us. But it is unreasonable that a package can be removed just because a
maintainer throws a tantrum

Again, I am really sorry I had to write this email, but CRAN cannot work if
we allow this type of situation.

Kind regards,
Alberto Garre

Your ingratitude (for CRAN and R) is deafening.

No one can even install it in current R, so it has been removed.

 Please see the problems shown on

 Please correct before 2023-11-03 to safely retain your package on CRAN.
