Thhere's also Guix, it has lots of R-related package recipes, and as far
as I know, it's easier to upgrade, easier to test these upgrades, easier
to revert to previous version (provided you do have the older
"generation" that had such old version), and also easier to contribute
back (either by editing the existing recipe, or by using Guix to publish
the copy of R that you have already installed through Guix, so others
could get it without having to compile/build it).
