@rakesh is spot on. This is how CRANlike repositories function, and is extremely important to the way that RStudio Connect manages packages / reproducibility for your content. You can see an example here:
http://cran.rstudio.com/src/contrib/Archive/rhandsontable/
I'm not sure whether miniCRAN offers this functionality (I would honestly be surprised if it didn't), but I know the drat package does. In any case, in the enterprise context, removing the pain of maintaining a CRANlike repository is one of the aims of RStudio Package Manager.
