Dear R-devel, Due to the numbering change of R-devel from 3.7 to 4.0 there seems to be an issue happening in a helper function contrib.url, maybe some others too. When running on a Windows r77294 (2019-10-15)
contrib.url("https://cloud.r-project.org", type="binary") #[1] "https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/4.0" Resulting string is actually not a the proper one. As of now CRAN still uses 3.7. It is not clear if migration to 4.0 urls will happen or R-devel CRAN will stay as 3.7. Anyway I would like to request, again, to consider my suggestion from May 2018 that makes contrib.url more flexible, allowing to handle issue discussed in this email. https://bugs.r-project.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17420 Best Regards, Jan Gorecki ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
