[R-SIG-Mac] R-latest.pkg link returning a 403 Forbidden error

[Patrick Schratz]

Simon, sorry I was wrong with the version.
In fact, I am getting a 403 with the R-3.6 branch. Other branches work fine.

curl -Osv http://mac.r-project.org/el-capitan/R-3.6-branch/R-3.6-branch-el-capitan-sa-x86_64.tar.gz  I

Can anyone reproduce this or is this really on my side? If you, any hints on resolving this?
