Package pulled from CRAN

[bzbradford]

This package just got pulled from CRAN because package build tests were failing: https://cran-archive.r-project.org/web/checks/2026/2026-02-19_check_results_leaflet.extras.html

Hi - we have a couple of applications that use this package - can somebody please confirm if/when it will re-appear on CRAN. We were about to invest a lot of dev work to migrate to another package, but won't if not required!!

[bzbradford]

For anyone who still wants to use this package, for now you can install directly from this repository and bypass CRAN with devtools::install_github("trafficonese/leaflet.extras")

I opened #251 to fix the failing tests and examples that caused the package to be pulled from CRAN. RawGit is no longer online and caused the failing tests.

FYI - It looks like @sebastien-plutniak forked this repo and has successfully resubmitted to CRAN by fixing the RawGit URLs. v2.0.2 is now maintained on his account. https://github.com/sebastien-plutniak/leaflet.extras
