Software Heritage (see [1] for their website and [2] for a brief intro I gave at useR! 2019 in Toulouse) covers GitHub and CRAN [3]. It is by now 'in collaboration with UNESCO', supported by a long and posh list of sponsors [4] and about as good as it gets to 'ensure longevity of artifacts'. It

Zenodo and OSF (see e.g. ) are both non-profit organizations that support archiving -- that is, they both make stronger guarantees of permanent availability than GitHub does. Possibly Software Heritage https://www.softwareheritage.org/features/ ?

Re: [R-pkg-devel] Overcoming CRAN's 5mb vendoring requirement

That's a good point! My apologies for not making that abundantly clear. Regardless, I think it is a fair ask to not submit massive tarballs of dependencies. Clarifying how we might be able to store the dependencies *outside *of CRAN would be good to figure out. This would help packages like polars

Re: [R-pkg-devel] Overcoming CRAN's 5mb vendoring requirement

CRAN policy [1] says: "If the sources are too large, it is acceptable to download them as part of installation, but do ensure that the download is of a fixed version rather than the latest." So you could try downloading the source in your configure script. Though be careful not to be bitten by this

[R-pkg-devel] Overcoming CRAN's 5mb vendoring requirement

I am sorry for blowing up this thread lately. I've submitted a package to CRAN that uses Rust which thus requires dependencies to be vendored. https://github.com/R-ArcGIS/arcgisutils/ The vendored dependencies are 18mb when zipped and 16.4mb when zipped with XZ -9e. The *installed package size is
