MRO 3.3.2 about fivethirtyeight HOT 5 CLOSED

I'm sorry, I don't know what's going on. The package did pass the win-builder. My sessionInfo() is below. Will investigate further before next version.

Is it not because that MRO uses an outdated snapshot of CRAN? Mine has https://mran.revolutionanalytics.com/snapshot/2016-11-01/, which is probably before this package was available

from fivethirtyeight.

@jshousephd I've just checked my Rprofile.site, the relevant part to change is here:

	# set a CRAN mirror
	r <- getOption("repos")
	if (.Platform$OS.type == "unix") {
		options(download.file.method = "curl")
	}
	# r["CRAN"] <- RevoUtils::getRevoRepos()
        r["CRAN"] <- "https://mran.revolutionanalytics.com/snapshot/2017-01-20"
	options(repos=r)

RevoUtils::getRevoRepos() gives you the snapshot as at 2016 November 01, so you can manually change the snapshot date. I recall seeing something about how to change it, when I first installed MRO earlier this week, but I can't remember where I saw it.

The snapshots of CRAN are daily, so you can use the latest possible date, and it'll work. Thereafter you should be able to install the fivethirtyeight package 😄
