Re: [R-SIG-Mac] PACKAGES file missing
Thanks, indeed, there were some disruptions, but now the build machine has its own dedicated port and location in Auckland so hopefully things will settle. I have also fortified the sync scripts to not sync with the Mac master if there is no PACKAGES file to avoid such issues in case something goes wrong. That said, the issue should be resolved now - please use https://mac.R-project.org as the mirror for mac binaries until all mirrors catch up.

My guess is you have a cronjob that builds the new PACKAGES file that removes the old file before the new one has been created. Note that the mirrors do not sync at the same time. So even if the PACKAGES file was missing for few seconds or even minutes, it ios very unlikely that all mirrors lost it, too.

Re: [R-SIG-Mac] PACKAGES file missing
The file was missing for sure from all mirrors also the main one. My guess is you have a cronjob that builds the new PACKAGES file that removes the old file before the new one has been created.

CRAN has many mirrors, but I strongly advise for using RStudio which
figures this out for themselves in addition to many other advantages
(such as sponsoring the mirroring service in the first place), so you
could try the closest mirror from https://cran.r-project.org/mirrors.html.
R Studio sponsors cloud but not all mirrors.
For myself, I would not use RStudio as it does what you describe: Lots
of things I do not want to be done. So I typically never give advise
which editor or environment to use, as that is a matter of taste.

[R-SIG-Mac] PACKAGES file missing
Hi,
I'm a R newbie having some problems.
The special PACKAGES file seems to be missing for version 3.6:
https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/macosx/el-capitan/contrib/3.6/PACKAGES
This is causing install.packages() to fail, which forces installation from
source:
> install.packages("tidyverse")
also installing the dependencies ‘sys’, ‘ps’, ‘markdown’, ‘askpass’,
‘processx’, ‘knitr’, ‘yaml’, ‘htmltools’, ‘base64enc’, ‘curl’, ‘mime’,
‘openssl’, ‘callr’, ‘fs’, ‘rmarkdown’, ‘haven’, ‘httr’, ‘jsonlite’, ‘readxl’,
‘reprex’, ‘rvest’, ‘xml2’
Warning: unable to access index for repository
https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/macosx/el-capitan/contrib/3.6:
cannot open URL
'https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/macosx/el-capitan/contrib/3.6/PACKAGES'
Packages which are only available in source form, and may need
compilation of C/C++/Fortran: ‘sys’ ‘ps’ ‘markdown’ ‘askpass’
‘processx’ ‘yaml’ ‘htmltools’ ‘base64enc’ ‘curl’ ‘mime’ ‘openssl’
‘fs’ ‘haven’ ‘jsonlite’ ‘readxl’ ‘xml2’
Do you want to attempt to install these from sources? (Yes/no/cancel)
Have I made som mistake or is this a real problem?
Many thanks for any help.
Best regards,
Joel Jacobson
