Hi bioc-devel, A co-worker of mine (Richard) tried several times to install the DelayedArray package. We got a couple of errors but it ultimately looks like it's an internet connection problem. The truth is that might be something affecting us on our side since I can't access http://www.comunidadbioinfo.org/ either but collaborators in Mexico (cc'ed) can right now. Me (on a Mac) and Emily (on a PC) on the same network can't access that website.
One of the errors we saw with Richard (on a PC) was about a missing tar block. We failed to save that error message (for what's it's worth, that was using RStudio). We then tried again and ran into this error: > ## try http:// if https:// URLs are not supported > source("https://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R") Error in file(filename, "r", encoding = encoding) : cannot open the connection In addition: Warning message: In file(filename, "r", encoding = encoding) : InternetOpenUrl failed: 'A connection with the server could not be established' > source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R") Error in file(filename, "r", encoding = encoding) : cannot open the connection In addition: Warning message: In file(filename, "r", encoding = encoding) : InternetOpenUrl failed: 'A connection with the server could not be established' > sessionInfo() R version 3.5.0 (2018-04-23) Platform: x86_64-w64-mingw32/x64 (64-bit) Running under: Windows 10 x64 (build 17134) Matrix products: default locale: [1] LC_COLLATE=English_United States.1252 LC_CTYPE=English_United States.1252 LC_MONETARY=English_United States.1252 [4] LC_NUMERIC=C LC_TIME=English_United States.1252 attached base packages: [1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base loaded via a namespace (and not attached): [1] compiler_3.5.0 On my Mac however, I can install DelayedArray. > source('http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R') Bioconductor version 3.7 (BiocInstaller 1.30.0), ?biocLite for help > biocLite('DelayedArray') BioC_mirror: https://bioconductor.org Using Bioconductor 3.7 (BiocInstaller 1.30.0), R 3.5.1 (2018-07-02).
