[Bioc-devel] Is biocLite() working for you right now? Could be a problem on our side. Issue with DelayedArray install with a PC on R 3.5.0

Hi,

Just as a quick update. Everything worked yesterday when Richard used
another PC computer from his home (another network). So it's
definitely not a Bioc problem.

Yet I have no idea how to troubleshoot it beyond burning it all and
starting from scratch: re-installing R and everything and checking if
that works. Well, or testing using a hotspot wifi connection with one
of our phones and seeing if that works to bypass the wifi network from
work.

Best,
Leo
