The CRAN master has now had web/packages recreated[*], and this should
now propagate to the mirrors.
Recreating the summary area for dcens failed, but that package remains
available via install.packages() (as packages have always been).
[*] Thanks to Stefan Theussl.

In the mean time, I have
- changed my mirror script to *NOT* delete anything for now
- rsync'ed (-u: do not overwrite newer)
a backup of web/packages/ from 2011-12-29 12:20:29
This has recovered 76 Mega bytes already..
Now indeed, the CH mirror should contain a full web/packages/
again,
i.e. --> http://cran.CH.r-project.org/web/packages/
which is http://stat.ethz.ch/CRAN/web/packages/
should again be "fully loaded".
