Research direction

The issue asks to drop the archived package forestdata from the Spatial CRAN Task View. Read the section on CRAN package archivals in Maintenance.md, linked from the issue, and check the package's current CRAN status. The Spatial task view source file is not named in the payload, so find it in the repository. Done means forestdata is no longer listed there, or the package has returned to CRAN and the issue is closed with that noted.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Package forestdata is currently listed in CRAN Task View Spatial but the package has actually been archived for more than 60 days on CRAN.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.
