[R-pkg-devel] Is R-Forge dead?

[Kevin R. Coombes]

Hi,

I have been maintaining packages in R-Forge for many tears. Last week I 
sent an email to r-forge using r-project.org to report problems with the build 
process. It appears that any changes I have pushed to R-Forge over 
approximately the last two months have resulted in the package remaining 
in the "Building" state, even though the logs suggest that the package 
built successfully on both LINUX and Windows. (Also, four of the six 
affected packages only included changes to the man pages to clean up 
NOTEs from the R cmd checks on old versions at CRAN, where the new 
versions now happily reside.) I have received no response nor 
acknowledgement to my email to R-Forge.

Assuming that R-Forge has finally succumbed to the ravages of entropy, 
does anyone have advice on creating a git project that contains multiple 
R packages? (I really don't want to have to create 20+ new git projects, 
one per package).

Best,
    Kevin
