Historical, stable version archive of packages
Is it possible to find a list of downloadable archives for older versions packages released through CTAN? For example, each package entry on the Comprehensive R Archive Network,
http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/tikzDevice/index.html
has an "Old sources" link that leads to a page offering archives of every version of the package that was ever released:
http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/tikzDevice/
I poked around on ctan.org for a few minutes but nothing jumped out.
historicsection of the TUG site is close enough to what I am looking for. And many thanks to Martin Scharrer for starting a dedicated archiving effort. – Sharpie Jan 05 '12 at 06:19
