Update R2spec

[Pierre-Yves Chibon]

Dear all,

A new version of R2spec is pending for updates-testing. It comes some
time after the previous version and some things have been added or
corrected in it.

There is the changelog concerning this release:

Version 2.5.2 -- 21st Mar 2009
-Features added
* Do not ask to move the file if there is no %_topdir
* Add option -c/--copyFile to copy the source to %_topdir without asking
* Add the option -n/--name to specify the name of the packager
* Add the option -e/--email to specify the email of the packager
* Add the option -f/--force that create the spec file with the normal 
   name even if there is already such a file in the working directory
* Add zip support
* Remove the '(', ')' and the ',' in the BuildRequire and Require of the
spec
* Check if the source actually exists (it was about time...)
* Better handling of the exception
* Change %define to %global in the generated spec according to the new
guidelines
-Bugs correction
* Typo -> 'Copy to' and not 'copy in'
* Change the comment on the spec for x86/x86_64 and noarch
* Actually copy the source file to the SOURCES folder
* The Source0 is not a template anymore it is either from -s or it is -u

Please let me know if you find any bug or have any wishes that you would
like to see in R2spec.

Best regards,

Pierre

BTW, while we are on this topic, is anyone using the 'R-Repo' project
to upload the RPMs / spec files generated using R2spec?

R-Repo project:
http://www.bioinformatics.org/r-repo/wiki/

I had hoped to find time to build some packages and upload them, but I
haven't been able to find time to do that. Is there a better place for
R packages? If the 'R-Repo' project looks useful, please let me know.

Cheers,
Dan.
