Hi,

The CRAN team does not build RPMs for RH and Fedora, that is done via RH maintainers and released via the EPEL:

  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL

As an FYI, there is a dedicated SIG list for R on RH/Fedora and the RH maintainers (e.g. Tom Callaway) read that list:

  https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-fedora

You should post there and Tom can provide a sense of when 3.3.1 will be made available.

At present, there is no indication that 3.3.1 is in the R build queue, which can be viewed at:
