As per Fedora R-packaging guidelines 'suggests' and 'depends' are treated in the same way. This is a problem when trying to build lots of packages in the row* so there now** a --nosuggest option available. This option does what it says, it does not treat 'suggests' as Requires/BuildRequires. The --nocheck option might also be needed in this case as R CMD CHECK normally complains when there is a 'suggests' missing. Hope this helps, Pierre * Yes, I did try to build quite a part of cran using R2rpm/R2spec ** On the git repo, I have not made a release with these changes yet _______________________________________________ r-devel mailing list r-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
