(Sorry for posting here but the top-level r-forge page does not make it all that clear where to contact its admins.)
When an old-style 'http' URL at r-forge is resolved / redirected to 'https', it is corrupted and the redirect breaks. That required a package re-upload for me a few days ago (as the CRAN url checker is unhappy about a borked URL) and you can see it live too e.g. via https://lists.r-forge.r-project.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rcpp-devel and going to 'rcpp-devel archives' where the hover URL is (note 'http') http://lists.r-forge.r-project.org/pipermail/rcpp-devel/ which when followed 'naively' drops the / between .org and pipermail and gets a 404 https://lists.r-forge.r-project.orgpipermail/rcpp-devel/ Reinjecting the missing / helps as https://lists.r-forge.r-project.org/pipermail/rcpp-devel/ works fine. This is likely a typo / error in the redirection setup of the web server. I would be very grateful if someone could pass this on to whoever looks after r-forge these days.
