That's a question for Michael who authors this :) Maybe you can follow up
with him? Possibly send him a patch with suggested edits?

Responses to many things in this thread:
- Until I fully test the CRAN site, I strongly suggest using the PPAs
that feed the CRAN site.
https://launchpad.net/~marutter/+archive/ubuntu/rrutter3.5
or
https://launchpad.net/~marutter/+archive/ubuntu/rrutter4.0
I prefer to use the PPAs personally, as one apt-add-repository command
adds the repository and the gpg key with no chance of typos. Easy to
remove, as well.
- For Xenial (16.04), I failed to build r-cran-nnet, which is why
r-recommended won't install. It is trying to use r-cran-nnet built
against R 3.6, which is why it fails. That has been fixed, and should
be available after the next sync.
- I have updated the README, thanks for correction. Again, change
should appear on the next sync.
- The process of building the repository on CRAN has a lot of moving
parts, mostly of my own doing. When a new major version is released, it
takes some time to create the repository and test it. Part of the issue
that the repository is synced twice a day, so it takes time for changes
to propagate and to test it. Different mirrors will have different
contents, so it may work on cran.r-project.org but not on
cloud.r-project.org for a couple of hours.
I try not to break things, but sometimes a small bug creeps in. My
apologizes for that.
When I have tested all the releases to ensure they all work, I will
announce it on this list-serv and on twitter. Hopefully, I will have
this finished by the end of the day.
Michael
