Hello,
R 3.4.1 on Windows 7, sessionInfo at the end.
Is there a problem with install.packages? Since last friday every time I
try to install a package in RGui, I start by choosing the CRAN mirror
Cloud-0 and RGui hangs. So I restart RGui and choose Portugal (Lisbon)
and get the following warning after a long while (minutes).
install.packages("igraph")
--- Please select a CRAN mirror for use in this session ---

There is a binary version available but the source version is later:
binary source needs_compilation
igraph 1.0.1 1.1.1 TRUE
Do you want to install from sources the package which needs compilation?
y/n: y
installing the source package ‘igraph’
trying URL 'http://cran.radicaldevelop.com/src/contrib/igraph_1.1.1.tar.gz'
Content type 'application/x-gzip' length 3376077 bytes (3.2 MB)

[...]
The rest of the process goes on with success.
The problem seems to be with http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/RWin/src/contrib
When I check
> options("repos")
$repos
CRAN CRANextra
"http://cran.radicaldevelop.com"; "http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/RWin";
I'm lead to think that install.packages should try
"http://cran.radicaldevelop.com"; first, only in case of failure CRANextra.
What is going on?
