hi,
i'm bundling some R packages to go into a flatpak/flathub application.
for that it is necessary to provide the download URLs for all the
required dependencies in advance - including R packages. this works,
*except* when an R package version transitions from being the current
version, to being archived.
the current version will be, say:
https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/yaml_2.1.16.tar.gz
then when yaml 2.1.17 comes out (which it just has), that url will
return a 404, and has become:
https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/yaml/yaml_2.1.16.tar.gz
this means everything breaks when a new version of an R package comes out.
does anyone know if a stable url exists for R packages?
with thanks
jonathon
