setup-r action uses non-latest version of Rtools43

[yutannihilation]

The latest release tag is "5550-5548", but it seems the actual version is 5448-5475, guessing from the commit message (maybe you failed to push your local commit when you created the latest release...?).

r-hub/rtools43@45306dc

Could you update the version? The context is that the latest release of Rust requires binutils 2.40 and our CI started to fail, and the latest Rtools43 contains binutils 2.40 so updating Rtools should fix the problem. For more details, please refer to rust-lang/rust#112368 (comment).

Can you show a failing build?

IFAICT we have the latest version in the latest tag, based on the file sizes:
https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/rtools43/files/
https://github.com/r-hub/rtools43/releases/tag/latest

And if I updated Rtools by choco upgrade rtools, the build passes.

The last modified time of Rtools43 on CRAN is 2023-03-23 22:09, and the date of r-hub release is Jan 9th, so I thought it's not up-to-date.

I apologize. I found this is my terrible misunderstanding... The build I pointed above was on R 4.2 (so Rtools42), and I confirmed setup-r sets up the latest Rtools43 (in addition, windows runner already has the latest Rtools43 installed).

Sorry for the noise.

[gaborcsardi]

No worries.
