R2rpm - Man Page

R2rpm -p <package name>
R2rpm -u <url to sources>
R2rpm - s <path to sources file>

This tool generate RPM for R libraries according to the Fedora guidelines for R packaging. These guidelines are available at: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/R

This program generates RPM file for R libraries for Fedora.

R2rpm -p <package name>

It will browse the configure R repositories for this specified package name. If found, the package will be downloaded, extracted, the information contained in the sources are read (especially those contained in the Description file). The sources are then removed from the current working directory (unless specified otherwise). Finally the spec file is writen to the filesystem using the information collected.

R2rpm -u <url to sources>

This alternative expects directly an URL for the sources of the R packages. R2spec will try to fill the spec as best as possible from the information collected.

R2rpm -s <local sources>

This alternative uses local sources. The sources are copied to the sourcedir as defined by rpm. They are then extracted and the spec file generated.
