R-patched on CRAN is R-4.3.3

Apologies for not seeing this until now. The files on CRAN https://cran.r-project.org/src/base-prerelease/ contain R-patched versions that should be up to date. The Zurich R-patched seems to be 4.4.1 patched too now. 

The text in R-admin is a bit out of date (it predates nightly builds of tarballs on the machine that does the final releases), and so is the text on CRAN. We might change them to point to the CRAN directory as the primary source.

(Martin: Are there changes in the situation at Zurich that are relevant to this?)

Possibly related to this, it seems that
https://cran.r-project.org/src/base-prerelease/R-latest.tar.gz
is not available any more.

This file was very convenient, because it pointed to R-RC, R-beta, R-alpha
or R-patched, as appropriate.

Our nightly "next version of R" builds [1] depend on it. Do you think
you can still create this file or link?

Thank you,
Gabor

Exactly. I was in the process of getting the CRAN texts to point at base-prerelease, rather than Martin's versions i Zurich and decided that his names were better than mine. "R-latest" makes better sense for the actual releases over in src/base.

Thanks!

So, to make sure I got this right, when the time of beta, alpha, RC
comes, they'll also have a link called R-patched.tar.gz?

Thanks again!

Yep. (Perhaps slightly unfortunate, but a varying name would be, um, counterproductive.)
