Good Day,
I have just loaded R base and an assistant program, "RKWard", onto my
computer only to find that my version is two weeks too old to load the
'sp' file from 'CRAN'. The 'R' version is 2.3.1 and I am wondering where
I might get an older version of 'sp' to run with it. Are there other
repositories other than CRAN that supply for older versions of 'R'?
For which OS/platform? All source packages are archived on CRAN:

http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive

and binary packages from CRAN (Windows, various Mac OSX) are in versioned 
directory trees, so R 2.3.1 will choose the 2.3 directory for the latest 
version of the package compatible with it.

If a source package, download sp < 0.9 manually from the Archive, and 
install manually (R CMD INSTALL sp*.tar.gz).

Roger
Thanks,
Phil

Do you have to tell install.packages() about this, because with R 
2.3.0 I get:

  > install.packages("sp",lib="~/Rlibs")
  Warning in download.packages(pkgs, destdir = tmpd, available = 
available,  :
          no package 'sp' at the repositories

I do not think that install.packages() can handle this itself. It looks as 
though a combination of download.file() and install.packages() as shown in 
its example could do it (with repos=NULL), but the url in the Archives 
would have to be chosen by hand.
