board manager file package_esp8266com_index.json is down

- Sat Feb 27, 2016 11:01 am #42000 :cry: It seems users cannot access the board manager file at http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/packa ... index.json

Currently users cannot install the board related files through Arduino board manager.
Using git clone and get.py to install also doesn't work since the xtensa sdk is also stored at arduino.esp8266.com.

Here is the issue link on git:
https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/issues/1689

Hope to see solutions soon.

Anyway many thanks to Richard and no doubt others for sorting it.

I have another question, does esp8266/Arduino now work fully and properly with IDE version 1.6.7?

Thanks

Bob
