Dear R-users, what is the most easiest way to download old versions of R and it's packages. I have found some functions, but none of them have worked. How to use the Archieve for this purpose. I would like to have detailed instructions for Ubuntu and Mac.
So please follow the posting guide and ask on R-sig-debian and R-sig-mac respectively. The 'detailed instructions' are in the 'R Installation and Administration Manual' for the version(s) of R you want.
The 'easiest way' is to retrieve them from your personal backups (and the only reason I can guess for wanting to do this is to reproduce old work using tools you once had).
Older OS X binary R distributions are available at http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/old/ . Only current (at the end of the R series) binary packages are available on CRAN, so older ones would need to be installed from the sources under src/contrib/Archive, following the instructions in the manual.
