It has not been maintained for a few years, but it works, I regularly use it, and it is a dependency of polmineR. While it is of course not necessary to have it on CRAN it surely makes it easier to find and install.

I don't see that rcqp has been archived (except in Google's cache):

	https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/rcqp/index.html

shows version 0.5 released yesterday.  Of course, it only builds successfully on 64-bit Linux, so it's not clear how long this will be tolerated by CRAN maintainers.

AFAIK, the only problem with MacOS builds is that Glib2 isn't installed on the build servers.  Has anybody tried to get CRAN to provide this prerequisite?

Best,
Stefan
