Scrape archived packages on CRAN #232

Closed jeroen closed 1 year ago

jeroen commented 1 year ago

In cran-to-git we could maybe also scrape archived packages, and include the archiving date from: https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/PACKAGES.in

We now try to retain CRAN packages on r-universe for 60 days after they have been archived: https://github.com/r-universe-org/cranscraper/commit/80d61790d6b2324ae67480ecfe19f98977019cb7

Of course, if they depend on packages that also have been archived, it may not be possible to rebuild them anymore...
