Should rpy require R or R-core?

[José Abílio Matos]

Hi all,
	I got a feature request in bugzilla where the user request that rpy requires 
R-core and not R.

	I don't have any good reason to choose one or the other, what do others 
think?

	Would anyone oppose to such a move?

Regards,

Unless rpy needs something outside of R-core, I think that makes sense.
No reason to have the install footprint unnecessarily large.

OK, I have generated a new package for rawhide with the new requirement. This 
change will be propagated to F-10 and F-11 when R-2.10 shows next month.

On a second thought and because the base for rpy is different for F-10 and 
F-11 I will update the new version for those releases.

Thanks.

BTW why is rpy2 not available on f10? (and why is rpy not available on f11?)

Cheers,
