The current naming convention used for the R-devel rpm package for Fedora (and I assume other rpm based distro) conflicts with the distribution R-devel package which prevents install unless using a solely r-builds based R deployment.
Some slight modification of the internal naming scheme (within the package metadata) for the r-builds package would resolve this issue.

(try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting packages or '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages)
