package 'Rbbg' is not available (for R version 2.15.2)

Question

How do I find out for which versions of R this package is available?

> install.packages("Rbbg", repos = "http://r.findata.org")
Warning: unable to access index for repository http://r.findata.org/src/contrib
Warning message:
package 'Rbbg' is not available (for R version 2.15.2)

Answer 1

You can find out by browsing the bin directory at http://r.findata.org/

You're using Windows, right?

The source code for Rbbg is available on github at https://github.com/johnlaing/blpwrapper

Answer 2

Part of the issue here that is non-standard is it's looking for source by default, rather than binary.

Warning in install.packages :
  unable to access index for repository http://r.findata.org/src/contrib

http://r.findata.org/src/ does not exist, but http://r.findata.org/bin does
