Thanks to Martyn, it is available from CRAN mirrors, such as:

http://cran.us.r-project.org/bin/linux/redhat/fedora9/i386/R-2.8.0-1.fc9.i386.rpm


If you want to add a CRAN mirror to your yum list of repos, see:

http://cran.us.r-project.org/bin/linux/redhat/fedora7/i386/ReadMe


It would appear that 2.8.0 is not yet in Koji, which is the Fedora build
system. Given the Fedora Karma system, it can be at least a couple of
weeks after it is available there:

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=1230


It would then show up in Bodhi:

https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/R

where folks can test the RPM and bump the Karma to push it to release.


I am guessing that there might be a delay in availability due to the
activity surrounding the very recent discussion on the consolidation of
R and R-devel to facilitate the installation of CRAN source code
packages, but would defer to Tom on that.

HTH,

Marc Schwartz

Also, the fact that I just noticed 2.8.0 was out might have something to
do with it... :/

Give me an hour or so, and I should be able to have the new and improved
version out.

Please let us know when it will be available I have ~15 packages from 
Bioconductor to update with this version of R :)

Thanks,

Pierre

You can subscribe to the R-announce list. This is a very low-volume list
that has only official R announcements from the core team or the foundation:

If its not too late, can you add libtiff-devel as a build requirement?
This will enable the tiff() graphics device, which is not currently
enabled. Its cousins, the png() and jpeg() devices are enabled.

Thanks also for the bzip2 patch. I will see to this in the morning.

Martyn

I just finished submitting the update for R-2.8.0 for Fedora 8 and
Fedora 9. Rawhide (aka, Fedora 10) has it already.

Please test these new R packages and leave a "works-for-me" comment on
the update if it works for you. :)
