The gererated file

Description of problem:
When using R2spec to build the .spec template then dependency are added.
But some R modules now an part of the R core. So the R package must deliver it as meta packages.
See https://cran.r-project.org/doc/FAQ/R-FAQ.html for the list of modules.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
R-3.2.3-4.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
every time


Steps to Reproduce:
1. call R2spec -p zoo (or any other R module)

Actual results:
The generated spec file will list R packages which are an part of the R core package. So an rpmbuild of the spec file will fail, because of missing modules. 

Expected results:
The the R modules which are now into the R core are represented as meta packages, so that the build will work.

Additional info:
See the sample generated .spec file.
Comment 1 Tom "spot" Callaway 2016-04-26 14:16:39 UTC 
Not sure why you think this doesn't work now. We use Provides for this in the R-core package (R is a metapackage that Requires: R-core).

[spot@localhost ~]$ rpm -q R-core --provides
