[R-pkg-devel] SSL error during devtools::release()

[Goldfeld, Keith]

I am trying to (re)submit my package to CRAN using devtools::release(), which I have been doing for a couple of years without any serious glitches. I just updated to R 3.5.0 and am using RStudio 1.1.447. I am wondering if this new error I am getting is known to others:  ERROR: Error in 'git2r_remote_fetch': SSL error: error:1407742E:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:tlsv1 alert protocol version.

I get a similar error from a Mac and PC. I can Push just fine to github. Is this something I can resolve or is it a problem more generally that requires a fix of some sort?

Here is the full output:

Running Git checks for simstudy
Checking uncommitted files... OK
Checking if synched with remote branch...
ERROR: Error in 'git2r_remote_fetch': SSL error: error:1407742E:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:tlsv1 alert protocol version
