It's fixed in the RC that's GA on the 11th. I think perhaps "stealth fixed" may be more appropro since it's not in SVN logs, Bugzilla nor noted prominently in any of the various NEWS* files.
Then there's the "why was the core R installation using a third party, non-HTTPS site for this to begin with". And, in other news, there are tests in the R source that rely on a check of `foo.bar` for connectivity. `.bar` is a valid domain and `foo.bar` is registered. Thankfully there's no current IP address associated with it. Anything under `*.invalid` (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.invalid) might be a better choice as well since that won't break the reason for the connectivity checks and won't arbitrarily send telemetry pings to third parties in the even anyone outside of R Core decides to run the tests (say, when patching something in R). -boB > On Mar 7, 2019, at 07:54, Rainer M Krug <rai...@krugs.de> wrote: > > I can confirm the same when checking on travis with r-devel. > > And thanks for the tip with > > env: > - _R_CHECK_SYSTEM_CLOCK_=0 > > In .travis.yml > > Seems to be working now > > Rainer > > > >> On 7 Mar 2019, at 12:48, Ralf Herold <ralf.her...@mailbox.org> wrote: >> >> Dear All, >> >> Checking a new package under development produces a warning in a local >> R-devel MS Windows environment (output below). >> >> Building it with R-devel on Travis fails (because warnings are changed to >> errors), but is successful when setting environment variable >> _R_CHECK_SYSTEM_CLOCK_ to zero. >> >> No issue occurs when checking and building with R-stable and R-oldrel on >> Travis, or with any R version on win-builder.r-project.org. >> >> The warning concerns using http://worldclockapi.com/, which however seems >> out of service ("The web app you have attempted to reach is currently >> stopped and does not accept any requests.").
