Climdex.pcic

[rachelkg]

Hello @N-thony
The climdex.pcic package has been removed from CRAN for a year and a half. We use it in the Climatic > Prepare> Climdex dialog. We also refer to it in the help but it isn't included in our list of installed packages and I get this error when I try to install it.

@rdstern says it is still useful and should be in earlier versions of R-Instat. Even though it has been removed can we add the most recent version to R-Instat?

Thanks,

Rachel

@lilyclements and @N-thony we use the data from this package in our merge documentation, and have a nice working dialog that uses this package. I wonder if we could, at least temporarily put a copy of this package in our github directory, and also include it in the drop-down list in the packages dialog?

@rachelkg thanks for this. This has caused a few problems elsewhere too.

We can call it in under the "R Package" button. The repo is "pacificclimate".

Alternatively, I have now forked it and we have a copy in our GitHub repo here. This is in case they implement any changes which result in it working differently to how it currently does, and for ease in R-Instat that the package is just in the drop-down of those linked to the IDEMSInternational repo.

@MeSophie I see you've been assigned. All you need to do is add "climdex.pcic" to the drop down list where we have packages like "epicsawrap", "rapidpror", etc.
