Updata aliases manually

Hello. Since the release of R 4.4, I have run rig add release and rig add devel to install R 4.4 and 4.5 respectively. That works fine, but I'm stuck with the alias oldrel attached to R 4.2. How can I swap that alias so that it now attaches to R 4.3? I tried running rig system make-links but that didn't change anything.

I had previously installed R 4.4 when it was the devel version, so, after running rig add release when R 4.4 was officially released, for a while I had the aliases release and devel both applied to R 4.4, which seemed weird, although that was resolved when I later ran rig add devel.

I haven't tried running rig add oldrel as it doesn't seem right to add a version that I already have, but maybe that's the way to go? If so, it would be nice if that was documented somewhere.

As a feature request, it might be nice if, on running rig add release the alias oldrel automatically gets reassigned to the previous release.
