Every r-universe sub-site fits that requirement. For this package Google's first hit was https://raphaels1.r-universe.dev/survivalmodels and it carries the same line on install.packages() that Jeroen adds to every page: install.packages('survivalmodels', repos = c('https://raphaels1.r-universe.dev', 'https://cloud.r-project.org'))
I have mixed feelings about r-universe. On the one hand, it is really nicely put together, and it offers the service described above. On the other, it's probably a bad idea to follow its advice and use install.packages() with `repos` as shown: that will install development versions of packages, not releases.
Do you know if it's possible for a package to suggest the CRAN version first, with an option like the above only offered as a pre-release option?

So doing all three of - adding a line 'Additional_repositories: https://raphaels1.r-universe.dev' - adding a 'Suggests: survivalmodels; - ensuring conditional use only as Suggests != Depends should do. | It would be best if you fixed whatever issue caused survivalmodels to be | archived when you do this. | | Looking here: | https://cran-archive.r-project.org/web/checks/2024/2024-03-02_check_results_survivalmodels.html | that appears very easy to do.
