As for non-manual updates, I have been using two scripts for a few years:
https://github.com/eddelbuettel/littler/blob/master/inst/examples/getRStudioDesktop.r https://github.com/eddelbuettel/littler/blob/master/inst/examples/getRStudioServer.r They are part of the littler package (in Debian and Ubuntu, and on CRAN) and get tweaked / updated as the base URLs change. Currently hardwired for the system I use (Ubuntu, amd64) but easy to generalize. That said, a PPA would be preferable as apt and friends are of course perfectly capable to 'sort' among available versions, download and install.
