In the process, I have discovered that several packages are obsolete and apparently are no longer distributed by CRAN; geography/R-GRASS is one example.  We still may have (very) old distfiles, though; for example, the one for GRASS is dated 2009-09-17 on ftp://ftp.pkgsrc.org/pub/pkgsrc/distfiles/R/.  I have not tried, but I doubt these will build.

Unless they are broken for new R, I would keep them around.
