[community:r] R version 3.5.0 does not work for Mac

[jalazawa]

Travis cannot download a file. But, if I go directly to the site and click on the link then I get the file.

here the logs

$ rm /tmp/R.pkg
3.37s$ curl -fLo /tmp/gfortran61.dmg http://coudert.name/software/gfortran-6.1-ElCapitan.dmg
curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404 
The command "eval curl -fLo /tmp/gfortran61.dmg http://coudert.name/software/gfortran-6.1-ElCapitan.dmg " failed. Retrying, 2 of 3.

The file is here.

The Travis log job is here.

My Travis file (part of) :

sudo: true

bioc_required: true
bioc_use_devel: true

os:
 - linux
 - osx

r:
 - oldrel

This will be fixed once travis-ci/travis-build#1553 is merged and deployed.

I have a similar issue with the devel version of R:

$ curl -fLo /tmp/R.pkg https://r.research.att.com/el-capitan/R-devel/R-devel-el-capitan-signed.pkg
curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found

Should I file a new issue or is this also about to be fixed?

(My log is here.)

It's been deployed.

I am having the same problem starting this week. Travis builds OK in Linux and macOS, for previous, release and development versions of R, except for the development version of R with Xcode: xcode9.2 (previous version of macOS, which I downgraded due to mirrors out of sync):

I removed the specification of the previous OS version and it also fails.

I posted a new question on Travis-CI community.
