Yes. Packages are signed as part of the updates push process, and this
update hasn't been pushed yet.

useR! 2008
by José Abílio Matos
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. :-)

See, this is why testing the updates is such a good thing. :)
Thanks Martyn and Peter for figuring this out, I'll do new builds right
now.

How to predict the files installed ?
by Pierre-Yves Chibon
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.

Hmm, they came through to my inbox with your name/email. Very odd. :)
