Building RPMs for Fedora with circular "suggest" dependencies
by William Emmanuel S. Yu 17 Oct '12

17 Oct '12

Hello, I am new to this list and in the process of building some RPMs for R packages. I have been rolling my own packages for a few years now and post them for public use. I am a heavy user of R2spec with spec file tweaks of course. Thanks for the author for making life easier. Every so often, I encounter the circular dependency issue with "suggest". For example, I am building R-reshape that depends on a bunch of packages including R-iterator and R-foreach. Unfortunately, R-iterator and R-foreach both suggest each other. I used to be able to force ignoring suggests but this causes problems with check and test and skipping check and test isn't exactly what I want to do either. I would like to know what the "proper" way of building RPMs for the both of these R packages. Thank you! "Sent via BlackBerry from Smart"

R packages that depend explicitly on texlive-latex
by José Abílio Matos 04 Jul '12

Such as R itself, fixed in the version present in updates-testing, there are R packages that depend explicitly on texlive-latex. Although that is not a problem now I would be better to replace that with a requirement on tex(latex) that also works now and it will work when tex is update to the latest texlive. FWIW I am having this problem because I have texlive-2012 installed from Jindrich Novy's repo. The affected packages are: R-RCurl R-rtracklayer R-biomaRt R-bigmemory R-Rcompression Regards, -- José Matos
