[R-pkg-devel] read-only mirror of the CRAN R package repository on GitHub
I have just added this package. The mirror had some hiccups a couple of weeks ago when we had to switch to synchronize from a cran mirror instead of the main CRAN site. Turns out mirrors often have slightly inconsistent data/metadata, not very surprisingly, and this threw off the mirroring script. I'll make sure that all packages are up to date soon. If you have any more issues, please report in the issue tracker Ben pointer to below. Thanks! Gabor

I don't think "CRAN" (R Core) _ever_ did this... it was a volunteer effort by someone independently. On April 11, 2019 4:16:47 PM PDT, Mohammad Ali Nilforooshan <m.a.nilforooshan at gmail.com> wrote:
Hi, In the past, there were read-only mirrors of the CRAN R packages on GitHub (i.e., https://github.com/cran/<packagename>). I cannot find this for my R package (ggroups), which became available on CRAN a few weeks ago. Does CRAN still provide package repositories on GitHub? If yes, please elaborate how the review and permissions are handled. Thank you M. A. Nilforooshan [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
