I am planning on writing down a proposal to add those remarks to the
guidelines.

In addition I though we could also :
 - Mention about the version which in R might contains '-' which should
be replaced in Fedora
 - Mention R2spec as tool to create spec file
 - Mention the new sources of library (the two r-forges)

Do you see any other points to be added/changed ?

I will send to the list the proposal once done.

Best regards,

Pierre
