Hey @StatsGary - I've sent you an invite to the repo. Could you please take a look? |
Hi @talgalili , are you looking for co-maintainers or for someone to take over? I could go with the former, not the latter. |
Hey,
Co maintainer would be great :)

Okay, I'm currently on life's "hot seat", but I will try to find time to address issue #184 for starters. If that's alright with you, will do a PR when done. |
Sounds great!

To be fair, I have used and contributed to installr in the past. But I now completely moved to winget (+wingetui). |
Can winget manage local R packages (i.e. post-installation) the way |
@BroVic No, but So typically I do update.packages(ask = F, checkBuilt = T) or I start completely clean and install everything I need via pak (I typically have all my dependencies in a DESCRIPTION file, in my first code chunk, or in renv). |
@lichenlady94 No this is the expected behavior, the package should still work :) |
@kjngo0309 Can you make this into a separate issue, then we can keep discussion on this issue clean |
It's been a year now, and another year I (as a collaborator to the installr package) haven't even used the package (see #183 (comment)). I do however get all issues in my mailbox, so what I propose to do is the following:

Thanks! If you need additional help, please let me know, I'm getting into the space and enjoy learning more! |
@burgerga Rig is also a very actively maintained way to manage R installations on Mac, Windows, and Linux that most of us have been using for a few years now: https://github.com/r-lib/rig. It seems like it might also be reasonable to link people over to rig from the installr readme if you really are considering sunsetting it. In general rig tries to "do the right thing" with R installations to avoid as many issues as possible that we've seen over the years (like managing the Windows registry, helping install Rtools, requiring a user level package library on Mac, etc). https://github.com/r-lib/rig?tab=readme-ov-file#-features- |
@DavisVaughan Ah I did not know that one yet, very useful! |
Hello,
I am the current maintainer of the installr R package, which provides functions for the installation and updating of software on Windows OS, with a particular focus on R. Due to a shift away from Windows OS, I am seeking someone enthusiastic and dedicated to take over maintenance of the package.
If you are an experienced R developer with a strong background in Windows OS, and you are passionate about helping fellow R users, this might be a great opportunity for you to make a significant contribution to the community.
If you are interested in maintaining the installr package, please express your interest in this GitHub issue. Kindly provide details about your experience with R, Windows OS, and any other relevant experience you may have. I will review all expressions of interest and follow up with those that match the required skills and experience.
Thank you for your interest in maintaining the installr package and for your continued support of the R community.
