Hi, I hope this is the right list to do this announcement. In order to facilitate my work submiting R packages to Fedora Extras I have create a python script that takes a CRAN package (tar.gz file) and from there it prints a first draft for a spec file. This script follows the Fedora conventions for rpms but I hope that with small changes this can be helpfull for other people. The script (released under GPL2) can be found here: http://www.fc.up.pt/pessoas/jamatos/R/cran2rpmspec All comments are welcome. :-) -- Jos? Matos
