Dunno what happened there, and Win binaries are generally "not my table". However, 4.2.2
is not old, so possibly should not be on that list at all. It is the current version, so can be
obtained via the "here" link at the top of the page (i.e.
https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/)
Thanks, fixed on my end, will be synced to CRAN during the next run.
Best,

Peter Dalgaard, R-devel team, et al.,
Hi, my name is Andre Mikulec.
I am an `common` committer to Postgres PL/R . . .
https://github.com/postgres-plr/plr/commits?author=AndreMikulec
https://github.com/postgres-plr/plr
`PL/R - PostgreSQL support for R as a procedural language (PL)`
However, now and different from the past,
the `windows/base/old` R 4.2.2 download location URL link now, redirects to the
wrong `R 4.2.1` location.
Historically,
Previous and Current(still called `old`) Windows versions of R
have been stored here (below) and the current(old) version of R would have been
4.2.2. and would have pointed to R 4.2.2.
https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/old/
```
In this directory (and its URL redirect (->)):
R 4.2.2 (October, 2022) ->
https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/old/4.2.1 (NEED 4.2.2)
R 4.2.1 (June, 2022) -> https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/old/4.2.1/
```
So, something has changed `R 4.2.2 (October, 2022)` now redirects to
`base/old/4.2.1`.
Now and in the past, Appveyor builds of PL/R rely a specific version of R in an
exact location:
https://github.com/postgres-plr/plr/blob/4ac054e61c62f72a9cd3a38f66476d037b3e27a5/appveyor.yml#L25
```
- pg: REL_15_0
PlatformToolset: v141
configuration: Release
APPVEYOR_BUILD_WORKER_IMAGE: Visual Studio 2017
rversion: 4.2.1
```
Notice (above and) below the variable `rversion: 4.2.1`
and the hard coded location `base/old/%rversion%/R-%rversion%-win.exe`.
https://github.com/postgres-plr/plr/blob/4ac054e61c62f72a9cd3a38f66476d037b3e27a5/appveyor.yml#L108
```
- if not exist R-%rversion%-win.exe appveyor downloadfile
https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/old/%rversion%/R-%rversion%-win.exe
```
E.g. the most recent PL/R build (a month ago) using R 4.2.1
`PL/R - PostgreSQL support for R as a procedural language (PL)` build:
https://ci.appveyor.com/project/davecramer/plr-daun5/build/job/7lqs9pkgartjhxwt?fullLog=true#L15
```
Cache 'R-4.2.1-win.exe' - Restored
Running Install scripts
if not exist R-%rversion%-win.exe appveyor downloadfile
https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/old/%rversion%/R-%rversion%-win.exe
R-%rversion%-win.exe /VERYSILENT
```
Now, where may One find a `specific version of R in an exact location`?
Please help.
Thanks,
Andre Mikulec
