generate RPM spec files for R packages

Synopsis

R2spec [Options] package

Description

This tool generates RPM spec files for R packages according to the Fedora guidelines for R packaging. These guidelines are available at: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/R/

It searches for the package in the official repositories (CRAN and BioC). If found, the package is downloaded to $XDG_CACHE_HOME/R2spec, and the necessary metadata is extracted from the DESCRIPTION file. Finally the spec file is written to the current working directory using the information collected.
