MonetDBLite not available

On https://ropensci.r-universe.dev/ui#builds we see that MonetDBLite is not available. Should this dependency be replaced, or installed via Remotes:?

{MonetDBLite} is no longer being maintained and was pulled from CRAN.

Short answer: the recommended alternative for now is to install from github using remotes or devtools:

devtools::install_github("MonetDB/MonetDBLite-R")

The long-term solution is to switch to using {duckdb} as mentioned in #18. #18 was still open because the previous maintainer of {restez} was waiting for {duckdb} to be available on CRAN. It is now on CRAN, so changing the database to {duckdb} is the top priority for me now as a new maintainer. Once I implement the refactor it should be possible to close this issue and get {restez} back on CRAN.
