okay, so (afaik) this is just a github repos which contains an exact copy of the github version of the problematic package (here: loon). I would then (at some future point) just do a pull to get the latest source, create the package from there and essential refer to it from Additional_repositories via: "Additional_repositories: https://myuser.github.io/drat"; (so if CRAN would actually archive packages directly to a github repos, one would not need to create a separate copy/repos'es... :-) ). Btw, at the bottom of http://eddelbuettel.github.io/drat/DratFAQ.html you refer to 'wikipediatrend' as an example for how to use Additional_repositories. The link points to https://github.com/petermeissner/wikipediatrend/blob/master/DESCRIPTION which does not contain such a line. Might be better to just refer to your R paper.
