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

[Ben Bolker]

   I don't know about R-forge, but it's perfectly workable to put 
multiple packages within a single repo, with each package in its own 
subdirectory.  You'll run into some headaches occasionally with (e.g.) 
CI machinery that assumes that the head of a git repo is also the 
primary package directory (e.g. 
https://github.com/r-hub/rhub/issues/584) ...
