Hi all, When I try to compile R 3.6 in windows 10 in Rtools35, it raised the error message: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- make rsync-extsoft (mkdir -p ../../extsoft; \ cd ../../extsoft; \ rsync --timeout=60 -rcvp --delete cran.r-project.org::CRAN/bin/windows/extsoft/3.6/ . ) receiving incremental file list rsync: change_dir "/bin/windows/extsoft/3.6" (in CRAN) failed: No such file or directory (2) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- There is no "windows/extsoft/3.6/" and only up to 3.5. Best Regards, Shuguang Sun

If you look at this FTP directory in a capabable browser (such as Emacs), you see Dec 22 2014 3.2 Jun 16 2016 3.3 Jul 6 2016 3.4 -> 3.3 May 8 2017 3.5 -> 3.3 So it seems the CRAN team (or the R Core release master?) forgot to make that symbolic link there. As workaround get the 3.5 version and "call it" 3.6.

I'll add that directory and include the current versions of the libs we use to build the official r-base on Windows.
