Dear John:
Thanks very much.
CRANpackages is now available via SVN checkout of Ecdat from
R-Forge. After it passes R-Forge tests, it will be available via
install.packages("Ecdat", repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org";).
Best Wishes,
Spencer

Dear Spencer,
I've attached the most recent data I have, which are from mid-2012. My
package counts came from
https://svn.r-project.org/R/branches/R-*-branch/tests/internet.Rout.save
(where the * is the R version).
I hope this helps,
John

Subject: [R] Growth of CRAN?
What data exist on the growth of CRAN?
John Fox published some data on it in 2009 ("Aspects of the
Social Organization and Trajectory of the R Project", R Journal,
http://journal.r-project.org/archive/2009-2/RJournal_2009-2_Fox.pdf).
Below please find those numbers plus some additions of mine since. If
anyone else has other numbers (or more accurate numbers), I'd like to
know.
I plan to add a "CRANpackages" data set to the "Ecdat" package
with a title, "Growth of CRAN" unless someone else provides better
numbers or title. [If it already exists on CRAN, I'd like to know. I
doubt if it does, because I couldn't find it with findFn{sos} for
'number of CRAN packages' and 'growth of CRAN'.]
Thanks,
Spencer

* NOTE: These numbers may differ slightly from other sources. Numbers
through 2009 were read from a plot in Fox's paper. Numbers since were
read at an arbitrary time during the day, Pacific time, from a mirror
in
the United States and could differ from those recorded by someone else
using a different mirror having the same date in local time someplace
else.
