Plans to get pgenlibr on CRAN?

[richelbilderbeek]

Dear @chrchang,

I was happy to find the pgenlibr R package to read .pgen files and I intend to use it in one of my packages.

The problem is that I intend to get my package on CRAN, where CRAN packages are only allowed to depend on CRAN packages.

Are there plans to get the pgenlibr R package on CRAN?

I would be open to help in a way, e.g. by adopting it in my package, but a standalone pgenlibr R package feels preferred to me, especially as -as far as I understand- the .pgen file format is not cast in stone yet.

Thanks for your reply and cheers, Richel Bilderbeek

Yes, there's technically one part of the .pgen format that has not been fleshed out yet (multiallelic dosages), but that part is unimportant for most applications. I will work on it this weekend.

@chrchang that would be amazing! Thanks so much!

Ended up being delayed by far more than a weekend, but pgenlibr is now on CRAN.
