Package 'aurelius' has been archived on CRAN for more than 60 days

Package aurelius is currently listed in CRAN Task View ModelDeployment but the package has actually been archived for more than 60 days on CRAN.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.
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.
@coatless Would you like to take a look?
@terrytangyuan sure!
Glancing at the GitHub mirror of CRAN, the package authors have been absent since ~2017.

The offending error seems to be triggered by a routing dispatch:
https://github.com/cran/aurelius/blob/7e6899cc14dc40f44f633f73f0611325fb0b0531/R/converters.R#L108
Likely due to a change in R 4.2.0:
Calling if() or while() with a condition of length greater than one
gives an error rather than a warning. Consequently, environment variable
R_CHECK_LENGTH_1_CONDITION no longer has any effect.
So, I'll vote to remove the package from the task view as it is likely orphaned.
Sounds good
