Archive policy and Rcpp?

Hi Dominick,

While somebody from CRAN might eventually reply here, your query is actually OT for R-Devel, which has been, since circa 2015, focused on more technical code development (e.g. C/C++/FORTRAN, etc.) and core R development issues, rather than on CRAN and package development related topics.

A better option for questions on package development/CRAN related topics would be to post to R-Package-Devel:

??https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-package-devel

or perhaps better yet in this specific case, directly to the CRAN folks at?CRAN at R-project.org.

FWIW, my read of the CRAN policy at:

??https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/policies.html

would suggest that there is an expectation that older versions of packages are "archived in perpetuity".

Regards,

Marc Schwartz

It appears that my archived packages Rcpp and RcppTemplate have
been removed at CRAN, yet they appeared in the CRAN archives
until recently.

What is the CRAN policy on archives and removal?

Thanks,
Dominick
