The version I got from EPEL was 3.0.3.. ?
Sorry I meant 4.0.0
I would be delighted to help if you are interested in it. My
previous
wave of changes did not meet with your approval, and I inferred that
this meant you look at the problem differently than I do. I am not
offended by this, it's your project. But I did stop trying to
contribute.
I definitely look at the problem from the perspective of "Automatic
production of entire dependency chains". If you think that is a
worthwhile direction to go, I would be happy to help get there.
R2spec remains a project designed to make the life of Fedora's R
packager's easier, so it has to remain guideline compliant. That is a
reason why putting the source0 as URL also is not *in my opinion* a good
approach (while I actually do like the --URL option).
There was a time when I thought I would try to get an "automatic cran
builder" working but atm I have other priorities.
