Are archived CRAN packages still available? #568

Closed rsbivand closed 1 year ago

rsbivand commented 1 year ago

When a CRAN package is archived, it becomes "unavailable". Is its read-only github mirror removed automatically, or does it remain "frozen" for any period?

It is not removed, it stays there.

rsbivand commented 1 year ago

Thanks, very helpful.

Btw., it is not just the last version stays there, each package is in a git repository, and every version of the package is in a separate commit, so all published versions stay here, forever. (Well, for a very long time.)
