Hello, All:


 ????? What's the status and future plans for R-Forge?


 ????? I ask primarily because a problem I reported May 15 and 17 via 
two different channels has yet to be fixed, and it prevents my 
development versions of the Ecdat and Ecfun packages from building -- 
because the Windows version cannot find "Matrix";? see below. 
Secondarily, the version of R that R-Forge tried to use earlier today 
was 3.5.3 -- NOT the current version.


 ????? Assuming you recommend migrating to GitHub, do you have a 
preferred procedure?? I found 
"https://gist.github.com/friendly/7269490".? This says it was "Last 
active 2 years ago" but seems to be the most current advice I can find 
on this right now.? That looks complicated, but I assume it preserves 
the edit history on R-Forge. ???


 ??? ? Thanks,
 ??? ? Spencer Graves

Hello:


 ????? Your Windows platform cannot find "Matrix" and other packages.? See:


https://r-forge.r-project.org/R/?group_id=1439&add_log=check_x86_64_windows&pkg=Ecdat&flavor=patched&type=00install.out


 ????? I reported this to your Support tracker two days ago:


https://r-forge.r-project.org/tracker/?atid=194&group_id=34&func=browse


 ????? Can someone please fix this?


 ????? Or is it now the official policy of R-Forge to ask people to go 
someplace else, e.g., GitHub?


 ????? From what I know, the basic design of R-Forge is vastly superior 
to GitHub for packages submitted to CRAN.? However, I've encountered 
numerous reliability problems with R-Forge in recent years.


 ????? Thanks,
 ????? Spencer Graves
