Contents of README:Orphaned packages have no active maintainer: they have Maintainer: ORPHANED in their DESCRIPTON file. Orphaned packages remain in the main CRAN packages section as long as they pass "R CMD check" for the current release version of R. Everybody is more than welcome to take over as maintainer of an orphaned package. Simply download the package sources, make changes if necessary (respecting original author and license!) and resubmit the package to CRAN with your name as maintainer in the DESCRIPTION file of the package. Possible reasons for orphanizing a package: 1) The current maintainer actively wants to orphanize the package, e.g., due to no longer having time or interest to act as package maintainer. 2) Emails sent to the current maintainer by the CRAN admins bounced, or were not answered for longer periods of time. |
