[R-pkg-devel] How to fix Archived Package Rpdb?

[Leonard Mada]

Dear Members,

I would like to reanimate the archived package Rpdb:
https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/Rpdb/index.html

1.) I have tried to contact the original author by email, but got no 
response.

2.) New Repository on GitHub
I have copied the existing code to a new repository on GitHub:
https://github.com/discoleo/Rpdb

- fixed the use of deprecated functions (rgl);
- fixed some bug with Roxygen2;
- I hope that all errors are now fixed;

2.b.) Description file
- I left the original author as the author (with the provided e-mail 
address): should I delete this email?
- I have added myself as maintainer;
- I have increased the last digit of the version number;
- I have added links to this new GitHub repository: I did not find any 
other links in the previous version (except to the pdb-format);
- updated the licence to GPL v3: the original does not specify any 
version number;


Is there anything else that needs to be done?


I may wait another 1 or 2 days and will try to submit the new version of 
the package.


Many thanks,


Leonard
