Installing packages under R devel version

I'm using the current R-devel version (3.3.0, r68650). If I try to install an R package then the following error occurs:

> install.packages('RCurl')
 --- Please select a CRAN mirror for use in this session ---
 Error in url("https://cran.r-project.org/CRAN_mirrors.csv") :
   https:// URLs are not supported

Actually I read that to be able to use https urls I have to install RCurl first.

As next I tried to set the repos parameter explicit to the HTTP version:

> install.packages('RCurl', repos='http://cran.r-project.CRAN_mirrors.csv')
Warning: unable to access index for repository http://cran.r-project.CRAN_mirrors.csv/src/contrib
Warning message:
package ‘RCurl’ is not available (for R Under development)

The problem appears is not only with the RCurl package but any package I tried.

how can I install packages on the R Development version?

You need to pick a mirror from that csv file. The csv isn't a mirror itself.
