+    The goal of checkpoint is to solve the problem of package reproducibility
+    in R. Specifically, checkpoint allows you to install packages as they
+    existed on CRAN on a specific snapshot date as if you had a CRAN time
+    machine. To achieve reproducibility, the checkpoint() function installs the
+    packages required or called by your project and scripts to a local library
+    exactly as they existed at the specified point in time. Only those packages
+    are available to your project, thereby avoiding any package updates that
+    came later and may have altered your results. In this way, anyone using
+    checkpoint's checkpoint() can ensure the reproducibility of your scripts or
+    projects at any time. To create the snapshot archives, once a day (at
+    midnight UTC) Microsoft refreshes the Austria CRAN mirror on the "Microsoft
+    R Archived Network" server (<https://mran.microsoft.com/>). Immediately
+    after completion of the rsync mirror process, the process takes a snapshot,
+    thus creating the archive. Snapshot archives exist starting from
+    2014-09-17."""
