Hi,

First, RHEL and related distributions (e.g. Fedora), have a dedicated R-SIG list:
  
  https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-fedora

Future queries in this domain should be submitted there, as many of the RH package maintainers (e.g. Tom Callaway, aka Spot) read that list.

For R 3.3.0, it would appear that it is about a day away from being available for release:

  https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2016-6fc2c863b0

So for now, it would be available via the EPEL testing repos.

Otherwise, you can wait until it is available via release in the next day or so, or download the RPMS directly here:
