I'm wondering if there is a way to get a list of reverse dependencies on CRAN that includes archived packages.
I am asking because "ashr", an R package I maintain, was recently removed from CRAN, and now it is back after I fixed the critical problem. However, some of the downstream packages that were affected by this removal are no longer listed as a reverse dependency. For example, the CorShrink package ( https://cran.r-project.org/package=CorShrink) imports ashr, and was therefore removed when ashr was removed. But as you can see from the ashr page (https://cran.r-project.org/package=ashr), CorShrink is no longer listed as a reverse dependency. I would like to notify all the maintainers of the packages that depend on ashr---including maintainers of the packages that were removed---so that they can take appropriate action. I suspect that I am not the first one to confront this situation, but I couldn't find anything in the R-pkg-devel archives that was relevant.
