Hi Ville,

here is one way that *might* work. Go to http://cran.github.io/w/, click on
"Older versions", and then click on the version you want (say 2.2.1).

Here you can browse the packages that were available at CRAN at the time R
2.2.1 was released.

I am still working on easy installation of old packages, so this is not
very smooth currently, you'll need to download the packages one by one from
github, or from Archive/, and install them by hand. The problem is that
resolving the dependencies does not really work, so you'll also need to do
it by hand.

So I guess this is only viable if the package(s) you want to install do not
have many dependencies.

Good luck, best,
Gabor
