Well, I think our mirror  https://cran.CH.r-project.org/
  ( -->  https://stat.ethz.ch/CRAN/bin/macosx/el-capitan/contrib/3.6/ )
would have helped too, as my rsync script
is "slow to delete" on purpose.

But that's not the reason for this e-mail: Rather to alert
people (SU !) to the fact that in unix-style directory look,
this is

  drwxrwxr-x. 2  1048576 Mar 30 18:00 3.4
  drwxrwxr-x. 2  1048576 Mar 23 22:50 3.5
  drwxrwxr-x. 2  1048576 Mar 30 21:48 3.6
  drwxrwxr-x. 2     4096 Apr 26  2019 3.7
  lrwxrwxrwx. 1        3 Apr 26  2019 r-devel -> 3.7
  lrwxrwxrwx. 1        3 Apr 26  2019 r-oldrel -> 3.5
  lrwxrwxrwx. 1        3 Apr 26  2019 r-release -> 3.6

where notably r-devel still sym.links to 3.7 rather than 4.0 (but is
not yet populated anyway)..
