Research direction

Start with the CRAN Task View entry for rang and the repository’s Maintenance.md section on CRAN package archivals. Check whether rang has returned to CRAN; if it has not, remove it from the ReproducibleResearch task view. The issue is resolved when the package’s status is addressed in the task view within the stated four-week period.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Package rang is currently listed in CRAN Task View ReproducibleResearch but the package has actually been archived for more than 60 days on CRAN. Often this indicates that the package is currently not sufficiently actively maintained and should be excluded from the task view.

Alternatively, you might also consider reaching out to the authors of the package and encourage (or even help) them to bring the package back to CRAN. See the section on CRAN package archivals in the maintenance guidelines for more details.

In any case, the situation should be resolved in the next four weeks. If the package does not seem to be brought back to CRAN, please exclude it from the task view.
