Is there an official R repo for bleeding edge R?

I mean I know this list is for getting R into F, but as a 'test bed'
for early F/R yum adopters like us?

It generally isn't a big job to tweak R.spec to either apply
the R-patched diffs or to build a newer version of R.
For people who have R code to maintain it is nice to test
whenever a non-trivial patch appears rather than wait for
people to find problems when a new release arrives.

No, but the new R packages hit rawhide first. You could always do:

yum --enablerepo=rawhide update R

Of course, that might drag in other things from rawhide if any of its
dependencies have notably changed, but its the best thing I can offer.

Alternately, I will announce when I've built R for the other Fedora
targets, you can then download them from the testing updates and give
karma so it goes into stable faster.

It only takes three votes to move an update from testing to stable. :)
