[R-pkg-devel] URL of a frame (or a vignette)?

[Georgi Boshnakov]

The link  https://cran.r-project.org/package=bssm  is stable (and given at the bottom of the CRAN page. 
Jeff is right that adding vignettes/bssm.pdf to it is not guaranteed in any way.

       What's the difference between


https://cran.r-project.org/package=bssm/vignettes/bssm.pdf


       and


https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/bssm/vignettes/bssm.pdf


       When I tried the former, it automatically changed to the latter.  
Is the former considered to be more stable?


       Thanks,
       Spencer
