[R-SIG-Mac] PACKAGES file missing

[Simon Urbanek]

I kept getting bug bounties on the server since open directory listing are considered unsafe. For some parts we have a generated index files (e.g., /src and /libs), but not everywhere. I'll see if white-listing some locations would fly.

Thanks,
Simon
