Hello, I'd like to say lovely package!

I'm a developer of palmID and I would like to add ggmsa as a dependency to our virus analysis package. Currently ggmsa is listed as "archived" on the CRAN R archive (https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/ggmsa/index.html). Is there a possibility of getting ggmsa relisted into CRAN there so it's easier to integrate your package as a dependency?

Cheers

Hi, Artem

Regrettably, ggmsadid not pass the check during the upload to CRAN, and the issues identified by CRAN are proving challenging to address. As a result, we have decided against releasing it on CRAN.

Sincerely,
Lang

@ababaian The ggmsa package is released within the Bioconductor project, see https://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/ggmsa.html. It is OK to add ggmsa as a dependency and submit your package to cran.

I did find a work-around, I'm not 100% certain it will pass CRAN checks itself but for the sake of documentation the solution is in the package DESCRIPTION file:

...
Imports:
    dbplyr,
    downloadthis,
    ...
    ggmsa
    ...

and then you have to add a Remotes section to DESCRIPTION which looks like

Remotes:
    bioc::release/ggmsa

This seems to work at the moment. Shame about the difficulty of getting ggtree/ggmsa into CRAN but also understandable. Thanks for the help.
