Fuzzyjoin Archival

[holub008]

I received the following communication from CRAN:

Dear maintainers,

This concerns the CRAN/BioC packages

 CSGo IGoRRR MIMER MSclassifR Moonlight2R arealDB econid fuzzyjoin
 highlightr ontologics podcleaner ppendemic tame tidyUSDA tidygenomics
 xrf

maintained by one of you:

...
David Robinson <[admiral.david@gmail.com](mailto:admiral.david@gmail.com)>: fuzzyjoin
...
Karl Holub <[karljholub@gmail.com](mailto:karljholub@gmail.com)>: xrf
...

We have repeatedly asked for an update fixing the check problems shown
on <https://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_fuzzyjoin.html>
with no reply from the maintainer thus far.

Thus, package fuzzyjoin is now scheduled for archival on 2025-07-03,
and archiving this will necessitate also archiving its CRAN strong
reverse dependencies.

Please negotiate the necessary actions.

Best wishes,
The CRAN Team

To avoid archival of xrf, we'll either need to fix the upstream (https://github.com/dgrtwo/fuzzyjoin looks pretty dead), update dependencies, or allow this package to archive.

Happened again:

We have asked for an update fixing the check problems shown at
 <https://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_fuzzyjoin.html>
with no update from the maintainer thus far.

Thus, package fuzzyjoin is now scheduled for archival on 2026-01-15,
and archiving this will necessitate also archiving its CRAN strong
reverse dependencies.

Please negotiate the necessary actions.

As I understand it, this can be accomplished with modern dplyr join methods + join_by specification.
