FWIW, it fails check on my Mac as follows:

* checking examples ... ERROR
Running examples in 'Rigroup-Ex.R' failed
The error most likely occurred in:

Error in .External("igroupFuns", x, i, R_IGFMINS, na.rm, PACKAGE = "Rigroup") :
  Incorrect number of arguments (4), expecting 1 for 'igroupFuns'
Calls: igroupAlls -> .External
Execution halted

I have no problems with the move if this was simply because of low demand.  However, if there was a build issue with the newest releases that caused problems, I would be happy to address it.  I'll just ask my students to install it from my own locally hosted source archive.
