nz-mbie/mbiemaps-public repo no longer exists

Open mathematiguy opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

Feeling curious to see if I could update the election nowcast myself, I had a go at building this package from the source code and it turns out line 8 from https://github.com/ellisp/nzelect/blob/master/build.R below fails:

devtools::install_github("nz-mbie/mbiemaps-public/pkg")

because the nz-mbie/mbiemaps-public (and in fact, all repos under nz-mbie) has been deleted. It looks like MBIE has taken down all of its public github repos.

Thanks for pointing this out. I will remove that dependency. I think it is only needed for the nzcensus build (this repo builds two R packages) but will fix that anyway.

I am in the process of catching up nzelect to the latest polls and it will be up to date on GitHub at least very soon.

I think they moved everything to bitbucket, so it may still be possible to fix. I might try this myself tomorrow because why not?
