Download link on Rforge for latest version of JRI broken

[bschuhmann]

The link on https://rforge.net/JRI/files/ for presumably 0.5-7 is listed as JRI_rev.tar.gz and the downloaded archive then is empty.

@s-u is there a chance you could recreate the distribution and fix the list in https://rforge.net/JRI/files/? Anything I could help with?

Since the move from SVN to GitHub the JRI tar balls are not created anymore, because they were a special hack on the server. The JRI is now part of the rJava releases, so it should not be necessary - simply the jri directory in the rJava package tar ball is identical to the former JRI tar balls. In fact, when you run mkdist in rJava from the repository it creates that JRI tar ball and then unpacks it into jri before running R CMD build on rJava. Is there a specific need for JRI alone?
