That's temporary:  R-devel should point to R-devel, not to the alpha.  
Soon there will be three links:  one for R-patched (based on 2.13.2, 
probably without any changes unless some emergency crops up), one for 
R-testing (the alpha, beta, RC series), and one for R-devel (2.15.0-to-be).

"Soon" might mean tomorrow, or it might take longer.
