Issues getting packages from MRAN

[mhines-usgs]

I am also having issues just starting today, whereas before I had no problems yesterday with the same Travis build using mran as a source repo

My Travis command:

#Install First Set of Dependencies
  - Rscript -e 'install.packages(c("bitops","Rcpp","digest","magrittr","stringi","stringr","yaml","evaluate","formatr","highr","R6","assertthat","lazyeval","DBI","jsonlite","brew","mime","curl","caTools","openssl","memoise","whisker","rstudioapi","git2r","withr","markdown","knitr","htmltools", "rmarkdown","RCurl","htmlTable","roxygen2","dplyr","lubridate", "readr", "base64enc", "whisker"), repos="http://mran.microsoft.com/snapshot/2017-02-08", type="source")'

Output when running looks like:

travis_fold:end:R-session-info
�[0Ktravis_fold:start:install.1
�[0Ktravis_time:start:29ee26ca
�[0K$ Rscript -e 'install.packages(c("bitops","Rcpp","digest","magrittr","stringi","stringr","yaml","evaluate","formatr","highr","R6","assertthat","lazyeval","DBI","jsonlite","brew","mime","curl","caTools","openssl","memoise","whisker","rstudioapi","git2r","withr","markdown","knitr","htmltools", "rmarkdown","RCurl","htmlTable","roxygen2","dplyr","lubridate", "readr", "base64enc", "whisker"), repos="http://mran.microsoft.com/snapshot/2017-02-08", type="source")'

Any tips as to what has changed?

Hi Megan,

It looks like the http call is redirecting to https. We made some changes to mran last night and are investigating.

Thank you Keith!

Hi Megan,

We fixed the redirect to https, so your script should work now, can you confirm please?
