An error occured during the build 'An error occured at build time, see the log in /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/build-R-plyr.spec.log'
If I copy the file somewhere else and reference it as a URL, it works.
Check the log file ;-)
That is simply because calling R2rpm -s without specifying --bioc or --cran leads to 'URL' tag in the spec.
