The goal of repo.data is to make repository data accessible. Mainly it consumes existing data but the idea is to also generate it.
When a function is specific of a repository it will start with its
name: cran_
or bioc_
.
From CRAN:
install.packages("repo.data")
You can install the development version of repo.data like so:
::install_github("llrs/repo.data") remotes
We can get a data.frame of all packages on CRAN archive:
library(repo.data)
<- cran_archive()
ca #> Warning: There are 4 packages both archived and published
#> This indicate manual CRAN intervention.
head(ca)
#> Package Datetime Version User Size Status
#> 1 A3 2013-02-07 10:00:29 0.9.1 hornik 45252 archived
#> 2 A3 2013-03-26 19:58:40 0.9.2 ligges 45907 archived

#> 6 aaMI 2005-06-24 17:55:17 1.0-0 root 2968 archived
We can also check CRAN comments about the packages on its archive:
<- cran_comments()
cc #> Retrieving comments, this might take a bit.
#> Caching results to be faster next call in this session.
head(cc)
#> package

#> 4 Archived on 2023-11-03 at the maintainer's request.

#> date action

Or estimate the last date of update of our packages, by the information on the session info or a data.frame:
cran_session(session = sessionInfo())
#> Warning in cran_archive(versions[, "Package"]): Omitting packages repo.data.
#> Maybe they were not on CRAN?
#> [1] "2025-08-27 18:40:06 CEST"
<- installed.packages()
ip cran_date(ip)

Other packages and related analysis :
install.dates()
requires a CRAN date, if you are unsure you can use
cran_date()
to estimate it given a library()
or a sessionInfo
report.This package comes from the analysis on CRAN data on https://llrs.dev
These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
