Since the weekend, the installer for the "current" version of the
Release candidate is not available. For example:
http://pre-release.racket-lang.org/installers/racket-current-x86_64-linux-ubuntu-precise.sh

Based on my understanding of the release process (still learning the
ropes, Ryan correct me if I'm wrong), we don't usually provide
pre-release installers until the 15th of a release month.

Looking back at the email I sent on the 7th, I can see how one could get
the impression that they'd be available earlier (keyword: "shortly").

If my understanding of the process is correct, I'll fix the email
template to make the timing clearer.

No, pre-release builds are available, and the "current" symlinks are in
place. The problem is that the installer changed names: it's now called
"racket-current-x86_64-linux-linux.sh". (I think the doubled "linux" is
a configuration mistake on my part; I'll see if I can fix it---at which
point the name will change again.)
