CRAN has a searchable archive of R documentation for the whole CRAN at https://search.r-project.org/, but only for the latest version of everything. I would expect adding support for the whole history of R base packages to be burdensome in terms of their time too, even without considering the history of CRAN package documentation. I suppose you could apply for a grant from the R Consortium (which reports revenue similar to that of the Python Software Foundation) in September or wait until next January or February and propose a Google Summer of Docs project in order to have it done, but people in general seem to dislike having to support infrastructure forever from now on for projects that linearly grow in size. -- Best regards, Ivan ______________________________________________ R-package-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-package-devel
