[R] CRAN mirror for R in India: new one at WBUT, how do we get listed in the CRAN website?
Dear All, Folks at the West Bengal University of Technology has set up a mirror to distribute R and associated packages. Here is the URL: http://mirror.wbut.ac.in/CRAN This will be helpful for R users in South Asia and the adjoining countries. I have yet to see the site featured in the CRAN list of mirrors. What needs to be done? For those of you who are impatient and would like to give it a try before CRAN folks link to it, here are the details sent to me by Indranil Dasgupta, the maintainer of the WBUT mirror site: The CRAN mirror's details are as follows: 1. URL : http://mirror.wbut.ac.in/CRAN 2. HOSTING INSTITUTION : West Bengal University of Technology 3. COUNTRY : INDIA 4. CITY : KOLKATA (old name - Calcutta, IATA Identifier code - CCU) 5. CONTACT EMAIL : indradg@l2c2.co.in 6. UPDATE FREQUENCY : At 1 AM IST (+0530 GMT) every day. Enjoy! Best, Arin Basu [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
