RDocs API not fetching most recent data for some packages

[ncarchedi]

E.g. latest dplyr version is 1.0.2: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/dplyr/index.html

But RDocs API shows latest is 0.7.8: https://www.rdocumentation.org/api/packages/dplyr

Given this is a problem with the current website as well, it's not blocking for launch. But @ludov04 thinks we should look into it at some point (maybe as part of a larger review of how rdocs indexing is working).

This is a major problem, is it not? Today I was exploring RDocumentation as I am planning to switch from RStudio to VIM and wanted try out RDocumentation as an interactive help viewer. Having outdated data defeats the whole purpose of the website IMHO.

Is this still a general problem? I noticed that rdocumentation.org shows an ancient version of RNetCDF - 1.9-1 vs the latest 2.6-1. The page shows that newer versions are available, but their pages are missing when you try to select them.
