[R-SIG-Mac] R-3.3.3.pkg not archived after R-3.4.0 release

[Jim Hester]

Having a more reliable location for this is would be great, your
proposed location sounds fine to me.

Thanks for looking into this!

The intention was originally for manual download, for automated access it would make sense to actually define reliable location. This all also predated different builds, so I'd rather propose a locatio in the build directories for the canonical location - e.g.
