useR! 2008

Hi, I am writing this from Dortmund, at the useR! 2008 conference http://www.statistik.uni-dortmund.de/useR-2008/ I will have a talk tomorrow about the interaction between R and Fedora. It is a 15 minutes session so there is not much time to expand. I will present Fedora and it interacts with R. There are several issues that are common to the relation between Fedora and languages like perl, python, latex or R. I will also take the opportunity to hear feedback from several types of users regarding the state of R in Fedora. If there is anything relevant I will report back to this list. I have asked pingou (I hope I can use this) to write to the list with the new releases of his package as it would be nice that package automatically in Fedora using yum. Regards, PS: In case you are wondering why I took so long to send this message to the list, believe that it is a long story that involves time shortage. :-) -- José Abílio

How to predict the files installed ?
by Pierre-Yves Chibon 04 Jan '09

04 Jan '09

Dear list(s), Several people are actually really interested to package the CRAN or Bioconductor in RPM using R2spec. One of the features that R2spec should handle is the %file section of the spec file, to handle it I would like to be able to predict which files are installed while running the `R CMD INSTALL package_name` command from the tarball directly. I could always make R2spec compiling the spec files but I would prefer not to. I have started to look at it but I have not find my way to do it yet, so I am asking here if anyone has an idea how I could do this. How I could from the tarball predict the file that are installed and thus that should be listed in the %file section. Thanks in advance for your help, Best regards, Pierre PS: I am emailing the lists fedora-r-devel-list and r-sig-fedora, feel free to remove one of the two while replying, I follow both.
