I'm wondering whether this is a well-defined question. The could have been several versions of a package released over the course of any given interval during which any one version (major or minor variants) of R might have been "current". You should ascertain the dimensions of the problem by first viewing three webpages: 1) https://cran.r-project.org/src/base/ # versions of R (source) 2) https://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_summary_by_package.html #(current packages by fork of R) 3) https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive # Package Archive > > In case addressing the R-help list is addressing wrong list, any pointer is > appreciated. > > Best regards, > > Christian Meesters > -- David Winsemius Alameda, CA, USA 'Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.' -Gehm's Corollary to Clarke's Third Law ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
