I worked up some guidelines for packaging R addon libraries/modules in Fedora:

I'm open to feedback from R packagers. I'm going to try to get this approved by the Fedora Packaging Committee next week, barring any serious complaints.

Thanks,

Hi,

I have just test the macro. We should change the

%post %{_R_make_search_index}

to

%post -p %{_R_make_search_index}

Without rpmlint returned me a warning.

Thanks, Regards, ~pingou

Hi,

I am facing two problems, Either we do: %post %{_R_make_search_index} Then we need to ignore the following warning from rpmlint: W: R-widgetTools one-line-command-in-%post /usr/lib/rpm/R-make-search-index.sh You should use %post -p <command> instead of using:

%post <command>

It will avoid the fork of a shell interpreter to execute your command as well as allows rpm to automatically mark the dependency on your command for the excecution of the scriptlet.

or we go for %post -p %{_R_make_search_index} And then we are facing the following error from mock: $ mock ../SRPMS/R-widgetTools-1.12.0-10.fc6.src.rpm init clean prep This may take a while unpack cache setup No srpm created from specfile from srpm: R-widgetTools-1.12.0-10.fc6.src.rpm ending done

With nothing in the /var/lib/mock/fedora-6-i386-core/result/build.log and this in the root.log http://rafb.net/p/GTEcKQ48.html (done for another package but R-widgetTools https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=241081 has the same error)

I would go for the first solution if we have no way to correct it, but it that has it has to be precised in the packaging guidelines.

Best regards,

~pingou
