I think this is a good case for using the unofficial GitHub CRAN mirror. Then you can just use the search like so:
https://github.com/search?q=org%3Acran%20%22Config%2Frextendr%2Fversion%22%20&type=code Best, Chris ________________________________ From: R-package-devel <r-package-devel-boun...@r-project.org> on behalf of Josiah Parry <josiah.pa...@gmail.com> Sent: Sunday, May 18, 2025 9:59 AM To: R Package Development <r-package-devel@r-project.org> Subject: [R-pkg-devel] Read CRAN package DESCRIPTION without downloading source Hey Folks, Is there a way to view the DESCRIPTION file for packages on CRAN _without_ downloading the source? I'd like to identify packages with the field `Config/rextendr/version` in order to be able to triage code changes in the future.
