Description

Hello! Noticed that this package was archived on CRAN as of 2026-05-08 because "email to the maintainer was undeliverable". ICYMI @jon-mago - just checking as I notice {aws.signature} is also being warned for CRAN archival as of 2026-07-02 for malformed DESCRIPTION/authorship lines

  Package CITATION file contains call(s) to old-style personList() or
  as.personList().  Please use c() on person objects instead.
  Package CITATION file contains call(s) to old-style citEntry().  Please
  use bibentry() instead.

Please let me know if any help is needed, we depend on both of these packages along with {aws.s3} in production work so would like to help get this back on CRAN as soon as possible!

Done means the archival condition is addressed and the package can return to CRAN; the issue does not identify a test or implementation entry point.
