As Connie said, R is already in the release.
As each release is released (SL 52, 53, 54) we put the latest version of R at
the time. But we do *not* put that latest version of R into the errata
section. That is because some people want to stay on the version of R that
they have, and some people want the latest version of R.
If you want the latest version of R, update to the latest version of SL.
If you want to stay at the version of R that you have, you can stay at the
version of SL that you are at.
Or you could point yum at the newer sl5k repo just to get that update,
sort of like
yum --enablerepo=... update R
which hopefully wouldn't pull in too much else of the newer stuff - I
guess that is important for people who must stay at a particular release
of course...
[ personally we always try to keep all our machines running the latest
minor-version - once we have tested that all the new stuff works with our
local hackery of course... :-) ]
