Dear Dirk,
Thank you for your feedback. There was a misconfigured redirection
indeed. It should work well now.
The top page does say "If you experience any problems or need help you
can submit a support request to the R-Forge team or write an email to
r-fo...@r-project.org.
Thanks... and enjoy the site."
But I`ll put it on the list of improvements anyway, to make the contact
options more visible.
Best,
Gennadiy.

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.
Best, Dirk
