Hi Weijun,
I restored the old URLs for all packages but instead of
showing the new stats, the page at the old URL says the stats
has moved and the new URL is provided. See for example:
http://bioconductor.org/packages/stats/bioc/pathview.html
Cheers,
H.

Hi Weijun,
Mmmh... we never promised that the link to the download
stats for a given package was going to be a permanent URL.
The only permanent URLs we promised are the short URLs to the
package landing page which is
https://bioconductor.org/packages/pathview
in the case of the pathview package. That's the URL to give to
people. The download stats are linked from there so when people
land there, they're 1 click away from the stats.
Anyway, I'll restore the old URL for pathview but it will show the
same content as the new URL, which is not exactly the same as the
old content.
Cheers,
H.

Hervé,
Thanks for the update, it looks great!
Here is one problem though. I noticed that the original download stats
link has change too. For my pathview package, it was:
http://bioconductor.org/packages/stats/bioc/pathview.html
now changed to:
https://bioconductor.org/packages/stats/bioc/pathview/
I happened to include the old link in a submitted grant application as
an objective impact metric for the Pathview project. And now the old
one is not used any more, and my application suddenly look bad now
because the supportive evidence claimed does not even exist. Not sure
how that may affect our grant application.
can we still keep the old URL or at least make it a alias to the new
one? Thank you!
Weijun

Hi,
We've refactored the download stats a little:
https://bioconductor.org/packages/stats/
2 new visible features are (1) yearly stats since 2009 to
present
and (2) downloadable stats in tabulated format (.tab
extension,
import in R with 'read.table(<url>, header=TRUE)').
Feedback welcome.
Cheers,
H.
PS: Updated stats for annotation and experiment packages
coming soon.
