MRAN is down

[shosaco]

https://mran.microsoft.com/timemachine dows not work. Noticed while building a docker image. Also not possible to use the R checkpoint package at the moment.

> install.packages("ggplot2")
Installing package into ‘/usr/local/lib/R/site-library’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
Warning: unable to access index for repository https://mran.microsoft.com/snapshot/2019-03-14/src/contrib:

Seems to be back up. Just installed a package and https://mran.microsoft.com/timemachine loads.

Yes, I take back my comment. It seems to be working only intermittently.

Is there somewhere to look for status updates? This is still down for me.

If you are closing this issue, it disappears from the standard Github Isssue filter, causing more people to open an issue. If you left it open, people would see it and refrain from opening another one. Also, closing an issue while the issue is not resolved seems odd :-)

Thanks for your support!
