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.
