Ari, There were multiple errors in the acs package. If CRAN states that the maintainer abandoned it, that is what happened. Had you reached out to Ezra Glenn (cc-ed here) and offered to help keep the package maintained, this hiccup need not have happened. The three problems were: 1) stale UR

I don't think install.packages() can do what you want. If you are specifying a URL, then install.packages() assumes it has no way to know where the other dependencies are supposed to come from. The typical way I install an unusual version of a package is to install the CRAN version first (ins
