Simon,

I seem to recall someone already poked you on this matter, but I can't find a record of it, so maybe not...

The symptoms are pretty clear, the log indicates a successful recent build, but apparently the packages have not been built since Oct 27, so R-3.3-branch-mavericks.pkg contains the version from the and is actually older than the current release. (I checked the contents with pkgutils, and it is not just a labeling issue; the Payload files are time-stamped Oct 27 05:15)

I have been trying to download the ?patched? version of 3.3.2 for Mac from CRAN,

What makes you think there is a patched version on CRAN?  Did you follow the link on https://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/
to http://r.research.att.com/mavericks/R-3.3-branch/R-3.3-branch-mavericks.pkg?  That is Simon Urbanek's site, so you need to ask him.

but the version that gets delivered is actually the October Release Candidate version,

(R version 3.3.2 RC (2016-10-26 r71594). It has been doing this since 3.3.2 has been released. Is there a real patched version somewhere?
