It's just Michael and myself looking after that page. CRAN mirrors it.

That came out hard to read but is also likely wrong. The 'cran40' does
not
refer to a version but _to the API change_ just how we one with cran35.
And for what it is worth the listed repo works just fine:
edd at brad:~$ apt-cache policy r-base-core
r-base-core:
Installed: 4.2.0-1.2204.0
Candidate: 4.2.0-1.2204.0
Version table:
*** 4.2.0-1.2204.0 500
500 https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu jammy-cran40/ Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
4.1.2-1ubuntu2 500
500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy/universe amd64 Packages
edd at brad:~$
(I had two entries in there for interim/personal PPAs of mine. What is shown
now shows you that Ubuntu 22.04 has a) the R that was current when it was
cut, in this case 4.1.2, in the distro itself, and b) because of volunteer
effors also R 4.2.0 via the CRAN mirror at the listed address.
Makes sense?
