R help - Nov 2010 - repository of earlier Windows versions of R packages

Dear Helpers,
I was trying to find a repository of earlier Windows versions of R packages.
However, while I can find the Archives for Linux versions (in the "Old
Sources" section of each package's Downloads) , I cannot find one for
Windows versions. Does such a repository exist? If so, where can I find
it?ThanksJonathan Williams

There is no such archive.

If you need a specific version of a package for a specific version of R, 
you need to recompile it yourself from sources.
The only thing we have is the last version of a package that was built 
for/with a specific version of R, see
your-CRAN-mirror/bin/windows/contrib/

Best,
Uwe Ligges
