Since a couple of versions ago, the package installation mechanism in R has changed, and some packages are no longer installable. Case in point : rjags, which needs code, whose installation fro CRAN packages will fail due to different "lazy loading" management.
Reading the SPKG file of the standard spkg for R makes me think that installing a newer R version could be as simple as creating a newer branch, installing the newer R source in that branch and recompiling. Is that correct ? I tried to search relevant trac tickets, but this is not easy : "R" is not a good target for trac searching... More general note : tghe R "community" is somewhat adamantine about running an up-to-date R : perusing the r-help mailing list, one can often see questions on older R version, almost always getting the standard answer "upgrade to <current version> R." having at least an *optional* r-latest spkg might be useful...
