Turns out I no longer have access to those cal invites, so I don't have the zoom link to join. oh well...

Never mind, found it via an old email notification.

4 months ago Sometimes packages are moved from CRAN to Bioconductor (such as mixOmics). Would this be caught by the system? From what I found it doesn't compare with the registry on Bioconductor.
I literally coded this up over a beer and a bad TV show during this weekend's storm, and then I did lots of trial and errors to figure out how R-universe deals with different things. I first meant to only write up the idea as a proposal to Bioconductor for handling the coming-and-going packages on CRAN, but figured I could make a mockup on R-universe, and then it turned out to be not too hard to actually get it working.
The initial objective is for it to serve as a discussion point. Things to discuss are:
How long should packages stay on CRANhaven before being dropped (currently 4 weeks)?
What should happen to packages that expire on CRANhaven? Should there we have a CRANafterlife too, where package are moved indefinitely?
Should we treat packages that are archived on request of the maintainer differently from those archived by the CRAN Team?
How to handle CRAN packages moved to Bioconductor?

Nice idea!

Last week, a new initiative started to use r-universe for giving maintainer some way to release packages to users. It is called r-releases, it doesn't have the same goals or purposes, but your input would be appreciated (We will discuss it on today's 2024/03/04 R repository working group meeting).
