PackageControl down?

#1

PackageControl seems to be down right now. Does anyone have any further details?

Nope. Unfortunately not. I can only open this page and thought it was working:

https://packagecontrol.io/installation

But all other pages still come up with an error.

I know this arrives a bit late, but Package Control R (the new one) is up ATM.

Ah, yes, thanks @gbird. Much better. I needed to look up a bit on the background, so in case anyone is interested:

Here you’ll find some info on why the new package control R exists. TLDR: The old one is outdated and proprietary (i.e. out of control by the community). The new one is a complete rewrite and AFAIU also the default for new installations(?).

To use it, just insert this under Preferences => Package Settings => Package Control:

"channels": [
    "https://packages.sublimetext.io/channel.json"
],

This will overwrite the channels you see on the left-hand pane (which is read-only).

I recommend transitioning to the new Package Control R. It is much more stable and vibrant.

Edit your Package Control.sublime-settings file.

Visit Settings or Preferences (depending on OS) > Package Settings > Package Control: > Settings

Change “channels” to:

"channels": [
    "https://packages.sublimetext.io/channel.json"
],
