[R-SIG-Finance] Formely known Rbloomberg package

[arnaud gaboury]

Dear list,

I am working on an IT project to retrieve financial real-time and
end-of-day data to compute portfolio risk & performance measures then
generate reports with knitr.
I need a reliable data feed vendor and was thinking of using Bloomberg.

Unfortunately, I can not find anymore this package, even in its new name Rbbg.
>From R console:

gabx at hortensia [R] install.packages("Rbbg", repos = "http://r.findata.org")
Warning in install.packages :
  cannot open: HTTP status was '404 Not Found'
Warning in install.packages :
  unable to access index for repository http://r.findata.org/src/contrib

What happened to this package ? github repo is two years old.

Any idea how I can use R to retrieve blomm data ?

Thank you for help.
