So, am copying all their CRAN binaries, to eventually put in a public page

This is for `groundhog`, but will be open to all

If you know of alternatives or have thoughts: email me

@urisohn It’s funny you post that, I’m currently writing a blog post just on this! And I’ll be discussing your package as well. I’ll definitely talk about this effort of yours to archive all binaries as well.
