Actually, Martyn set up CRAN as a yum repository. I have

$ more /etc/yum.repos.d/R.repo
[R]
name=CRAN Fedora $releasever - $basearch
baseurl=http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/redhat/fc$releasever/$basearch/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1

whereafter I could just say "yum install R", and in due course I
presume "yum update R".
