A couple of things:
First, there is a SIG list specifically for R on Fedora and RHEL distributions
and their derivatives:
https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-fedora
Second, how did you install R? If you used the precompiled binary RPMS for
Fedora that are available by using 'yum':
sudo yum install R
then the standard R components and their dependencies, that are part of the
default distribution, would be installed via the precompiled binary RPMS.
There is no need to install the base or recommended packages separately.
That is the easiest way to install R on Fedora. Yes, it may be a version
release or two out of date, especially since 3.2.3 was just released this past
week. It will typically take a few days or perhaps a bit longer, before the RPM
maintainers release a new binary.
