My understanding is that the order of CRAN repos available in `options("repos")` are tried sequentially. So if cran.r-rproject.org <http://cran.r-rproject.org> is first, that will be tried. If the package is not available there, the next repository will be tried.
I think that's correct, but as in the example below, the R-universe repos is usually listed first.
I do appreciate the ease of release to R-universe quite a bit particularly because you don’t need to vendor rust deps.
Is it really a release if the author doesn't know it happened? I found out about "my" site dmurdoch.r-universe.dev today, but it seems to have existed for quite a while.

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?
