Description of problem:
When an R module use cpp like plyr then an wrong build dependency are created.

Actual results:
The spec template will use R-Rcpp and not  R-Rcpp-devel as BuildRequires.

Comment 1 Pierre-YvesChibon 2016-04-27 09:10:58 UTC

I'm curious on would you expect R2spec to know that R-Rcpp-devel exists?

R2spec aims at doing a job as good as possible but in most situations the output will require some more manual work and I'm afraid this will be one of these situations.
Another one would be when the R module relies on external libraries that are not in R.
