OK, since I am already running CentOS, I may still stick with CentOS but your 
point is well-taken. I also prefer to define my containers myself so I have 
full control - and understand - how they are set up...

I have come across COPR but it is not among my repos, I need to learn more.

Thank you!

Of course, you can do that. With podman it's even easier. But then I'd
use Fedora as the base image instead, because you'll enjoy binary
installations for most of CRAN via Copr [1]. You even have a docker
image ready to go [2]. (Disclaimer: I'm the maintainer of that
project).

Please, see spot's comment in the BZ I linked in my previous comment.
The thing is not that it can't be done (you could install a newer
devtoolset, v8 or v9, build R and use it), the thing is that it cannot
be distributed in EPEL, because we're allowed to build against a
devtoolset, but not depend on it, so the distribution would be broken
(you could not install packages unless you know that you need a
specific devtoolset, so you install and activate it).

Really? If Iñaki says it can't be done (even using devtools, which I've 
tried), then you need to move on.

I see. Is anyone running R 4.0 on CentOS 7? If so, how do you do it?
