It would appear that the HTML and EPUB files for the Release versions of the manuals are not present, unless they are in the process of being generated right now. The PDFs, dated July 6, 2015, are present:

  http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/

They appear to be ok for patched and devel:

  http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-patched/
  http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-devel/

which are dated July 4 and 5, respectively.

Checking a mirror, the HTML and EPUB files appear to be present for the July 3, 2015 dated file versions. So something happened over the weekend on the main CRAN server it would seem, depending upon the regen cycle timing.

I tried two different browsers, with refreshes, in case there was a caching issue of sorts.
