RJAGS Installation Issues
Thanks Jeroen. Lars uses OBS as well, so he just added Fedora to his list of repositories. Fedora RPMs are now available at http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/cornell_vrdc/Fedora_20/ Martyn

The primary source of RPMS for JAGS is the repository created by Lars Vilhuber: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/cornell_vrdc/ It is true that Lars does not create RPMs for Fedora, presumably because they do not use it at Cornell. I had not thought about this before. I do use Fedora but I always install JAGS from source.
It is quite easy to (re)build rpm binary packages on another platform using the rpm source package. Usually the rpm source package is the same for Fedora/CentOS/RHEL, unless you have some exotic dependencies. Suse also offers a free build service (OBS) to do the building for you. You upload a src rpm (or just give a hyperlink), and their machines will build and publish binary rpm's for various distributions and architectures of your choice, including Fedora. Thereby you can easily manage your own repository, and your admin only has to add the repository, and do a yum update once in a while. Just for fun, I tried grabbing some src rpms from Lars' centos6 repo [1] and build them for Fedora on OBS. I haven't tried installing them (not a Fedora user), but all builds were successful so I'm going to guess they will work. You can see the overview in [2] and grab binaries from [3,4,5] for jags version 1,2 and 3, respectively.
