Hi,

I just filed a bug about this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=751003

We were discussing about this yesterday with spot. The question was related to this: o All packages must have a namespace, and one is created on installation if not supplied in the sources. This means that any package without a namespace must be re-installed under this version of R (but previously-installed data-only packages without R code can still be used).

So we have 64 (-1 false positive) R packages in Fedora and all the one which 1) are not data-only packages 2) do not already contain a namespace have to be rebuilt.

By first look, I think we have 6 data-only packages: R-affydata, R-BSgenome.Celegans.UCSC.ce2, R-fibroEset, R-hgu133acdf, R-hgu95av2cdf, R-hgu95av2probe

So 57 packages would be affected by condition one. By simple grep, 42 packages have a namespace from this 42 I can see that R-BSgenome.Celegans.UCSC.ce2 is in.

So we would have to rebuild: 63 - 6 - 41 = 16 packages, sounds duable.

I might have done an error or miss something but that gives us a first clue.

Hope this helps, Pierre

What I did: 1) list of R packages: $ pkgdb-cli list R-* ... Total: 64 packages 2) Clone all of them: $ for pkg in `pkgdb-cli list R-* --nameonly`; do fedpkg clone $pkg; done; 3) Get all the packages with namespace: $ grep namespace -iR ./R-* |wc -l 42
