Hi Guix, after it was reported that the plain CRAN URI only points to the latest version of a package and previous versions are archived at a different URI, I took Dave’s advice and wrote a ‘cran-uri’ procedure that produces a list of URI strings for a given R package name and a version. Only one of the two URIs will be correct as the archives don’t contain the latest version. The first patch adds the procedure, the second makes the importer generate a package expression containing the procedure call, and the last updates all existing R packages to use this procedure. I’d like to amend and push Vicente’s useful patches for r-dplyr once this patch set has been accepted. Thanks for your patience! ~~ Ricardo
