But these changes also affected my my CRANberries (see the html or better yet rss view) summaries of new packages as some of the source information moved. So I just updated the (surprisingly short at 189 lines including plenty of whitespace and comments) script, and things should work now come the next update.
While updating the 'more info' link for new and updates posts to point to the new-style entry at CRAN, I also took the opportunity to update the format of the `blog' entry for updates where we now show title and description along with the diffstat output,
I also manually copied in two of the recent entries: the new package
emu where CRANberries had fallen over as we
could not find the package description (in the new spot), and the existing package
GEOmap where diffstat failed
as we somehow didn't have a proper tarnall of the previous sources.
