Well, I'm certainly not so bored as to want to repackage all of CRAN. :)
I think the safest thing is to query R for what it has installed, and
not be concerned about whether it was built manually from CRAN, or
provided pre-built by Fedora.
OK, and then packages from Fedora with deps in CRAN that have been
locally built can be installed right? Can we set up the RPM so that it
can 'query R for what it has installed' for the purposes of resolving
such deps?
Is this what happens already?
