cranlogs queries are several days behind RStudio's posted CRAN logs

[Sam Firke]

I notice that cranlogs::cran_downloads is several days behind the CRAN logs posted here. Right now those .gz files include one for October 4th, but:

> cran_downloads("ggplot2", from = "2016-10-01", to = "2016-10-05")
        date count package
1 2016-10-01  5499 ggplot2
2 2016-10-02  5893 ggplot2
3 2016-10-03     0 ggplot2
4 2016-10-04     0 ggplot2
5 2016-10-05     0 ggplot2

And https://cranlogs.r-pkg.org/badges/last-day/ggplot2 is showing 5893. In both cases, this is the October 2nd result. Is something awry?

Thanks for letting me know.

RStudio used to ping the cranlogs server when a new log was available. They do not ping it any more it seems.

I'll have to implement some polling.

I bumped it manually now.
