I am having some issues with tinytex.

> xfun::session_info('tinytex')
R version 4.4.1 (2024-06-14)
Platform: aarch64-apple-darwin20
Running under: macOS 15.0.1, RStudio 2024.11.0.258

Locale: en_US.UTF-8 / en_US.UTF-8 / en_US.UTF-8 / C / en_US.UTF-8 / en_US.UTF-8

Package version:
  graphics_4.4.1  grDevices_4.4.1 stats_4.4.1     tinytex_0.53    tools_4.4.1     utils_4.4.1    
  xfun_0.48      

LaTeX version used: 
  TeX Live 2024 (TinyTeX) with tlmgr 2024-05-24

I tried to render a Quarto document to PDF and it started complaining about some missing packages. I installed them but during the installation process I started getting the following message:

tlmgr: Remote database (revision 72385 of the texlive-scripts package)
seems to be older than the local installation (rev 72475 of
texlive-scripts); please use a different mirror and/or wait a day or two.

I uninstalled the package and then did:

Warning message:
In tinytex::install_tinytex() :
  The repository https://osl.ugr.es/CTAN/systems/texlive/tlnet/ does not seem to be accessible. Reverting to the default CTAN mirror.

I am not sure how to proceed.

By filing an issue to this repo, I promise that

  • [ X] I have fully read the issue guide at https://yihui.org/issue/.
  • [ X] I have provided the necessary information about my issue.
    • If I'm asking a question, I have already asked it on Stack Overflow or RStudio Community, waited for at least 24 hours, and included a link to my question there.
    • If I'm filing a bug report, I have included a minimal, self-contained, and reproducible example, and have also included xfun::session_info('tinytex'). I have upgraded all my packages to their latest versions (e.g., R, RStudio, and R packages), and also tried the development version: remotes::install_github('rstudio/tinytex').
    • If I have posted the same issue elsewhere, I have also mentioned it in this issue.
  • [ X] I have learned the Github Markdown syntax, and formatted my issue correctly.

I understand that my issue may be closed if I don't fulfill my promises.

The message said:

You don't need to reinstall TinyTeX, but follow the suggestion to use a different mirror (or wait), which you can do with the function tinytex::tlmgr_repo(). It will tell you which mirror you are using right now. To switch to another one, find the URL at https://ctan.org/mirrors/ (use an https one), and pass it to the function.

@yihui
ctan_mirrors() returns more detailed information about CTAN mirrors; …
6743ffc 
…the link https://ctan.org/mirrors/mirmon appears to be broken at the moment, so scrape from https://ctan.org/mirrors/ instead

I just rewrote the internal function tinytex:::ctan_mirrors(), which returns the mirror information at https://ctan.org/mirrors/.

remotes::install_github('rstudio/tinytex')
install.packages('litedown', repos = 'https://yihui.r-universe.dev')

Restart R, and:

xfun::html_view(litedown::fuse(
  c('---', 'title: All CTAN Mirrors', '---', '```{r}', 'I(xfun:::ctan_mirrors())', '```')
))

It will show you a table of mirrors like this:
