Extra datasets for torch

github.com/mlverse/torchdatasets ↗

torchdatasets ships custodial work as mlverse gathers its torch satellites under one maintainer.

r torchdatasetscran maintenancemlversemaintainer handover
◆Current state
torchdatasets supplies ready-made datasets for the R torch stack. The only release in view is a CRAN-preparation patch: dataset test repairs, namespace qualification, dead download URLs removed, and CI workflows moved to current r-lib actions. Maintainership transfers to Tomasz Kalinowski to match the mlverse/torch setup.
◆Where it's heading
This is custodial work, not development — the release exists to keep the package installable as external dataset hosts return 403s and 404s and CRAN checks fail on them. The same maintainer handover appears in safetensors and tfevents days earlier, pointing at a consolidation of the R torch stack under one maintainer rather than a per-package roadmap.
◆Prediction
The next release is likely to be another CRAN-keeping patch chasing broken dataset URLs, unless the wider mlverse handover brings dataset additions with it.

    Test and URL fixes; maintainer changes to Tomasz Kalinowski

    A maintenance-only release: broken external dataset URLs removed, tests made skip-safe against 403s on CI, and workflows modernised so CRAN checks pass again. The maintainer change aligns it with mlverse/torch and matches the same move in safetensors and tfevents.
