Stale RStudio `latest` build links?

[Thell]

According to the Preview download page...

According to the latest url...

# effective_url is just: curl -s -I -w '%{url_effective}\n' -L $1 -o /dev/null

This should not have a label of RStudio IDE or IDE issue without also having the labels for all the other build types.

Using the listed urls from the Getting the newest RStudio Builds article and checking them we can see that none of them (daily, preview, stable; desktop, server; oss, pro) are updated.

It looks like they stopped updating a few weeks ago?

Perhaps the community board isn't the best place to report this?

Perhaps the community board isn't the best place to report this?

We do watch it. These were temporarily out of sync but should be correct now.

[Thell]

Truly you do! Thank you for the quick fix.

I know you guys keep your eyes on things, I was just thinking that perhaps a community discussion forum wasn't the best place to post an 'issue'. No matter though; all better now.

[Thell]

Looks like there is still an issue...

The only daily that is up to date is the Mac version.
The preview and stable versions are up to date though so

---

I also posted a public repo for rstudio-latest-urls that will update daily to generate a json of the latest daily, preview and stable urls.

$ url=https://github.com/thell/rstudio-latest-urls/raw/master/latest.json
$ jq -r '.preview.desktop.bionic.rstudio' <(curl -s -L ${url})

Update to ensure this doesn't auto-close...

Its still broken.

Should be...

@Thell

https://rstudio.org/download/latest/daily/desktop/bionic/rstudio-latest-amd64.deb

Yet another update to keep it open... I'm not going to keep doing this just to keep the topic open without feedback so if it goes stale just assume it actually isn't fixed and that it isn't solved but only partially solved.

The latest links for dailies are still broke...
Still pointing at 1.4.405 when the download pages point to 1.4.775

[jonathan]

This should be fixed now!

Can you confirm?

[Thell]

Can confirm... auto-updated to the correct version. Everything looks to match the individual download pages.
Thank you.
