Upgrading to R version 2.15.3 under Fedora.

From time to time since the release of R 2.15.3 was announced
I have tried to upgrade from 2.15.2 by doing

     sudo yum install R

I keep getting
Package R-2.15.2-1.fc17.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do
Has the upgrade really not propagated to the Fedora repositories yet?

Or is it the case that I am doing something wrong or that there is some
other action or adjustment required?

I am running Fedora 17.1.

Thanks for any hints.

     cheers,

         Rolf Turner

Rolf,

According to Koji, which is the Fedora build system:

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

2.15.3 is not yet available. So 2.15.2 is the most recent version available from the Fedora stable repos.

You would also want to typically use:

  sudo yum update R

You could contact Tom Callaway to see what the timeline for 2.15.3 might be. He is cc'd here for convenience.

Also, you can track the general package building and testing status for R here:

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

BTW Rolf, Fedora (and RH/RH derivative) related queries should go to r-sig-fedora:

Thanks Marc.  All very clear, cogent and useful.  Sorry for not
sending my original post to r-sig-fedora; I *knew* about that,
but had (in my dotage?) forgotten.

     cheers,

         Rolf
