Bug 591415

* source files match upstream:
   sha1sum timeDate_2110.88.tar.gz 
8b77f4e44cc0ebfe928974a3f59cf085f5c16431  timeDate_2110.88.tar.gz
   sha1sum rpmbuild/SOURCES/timeDate_2110.88.tar.gz 
8b77f4e44cc0ebfe928974a3f59cf085f5c16431  rpmbuild/SOURCES/timeDate_2110.88.tar.gz

* package meets naming and versioning guidelines.
* specfile is properly named, is cleanly written and uses macros consistently.
* summary is OK.
* description is OK.
* dist tag is present.
* build root is OK.
- license field matches the actual license.
  The license in the pdf DocCopying.pdf is a GPLv2 license while the rest of the package is under GPLv2+

* license is open source-compatible.
* license text is included upstream.
* latest version is being packaged.
* BuildRequires are proper.
- Requires should be on R-core instead of R-devel

* %clean is present.
* package builds in koji (
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2182189 ).
* package installs properly
* rpmlint produces 4 warnings, safe to ignore (spelling).
  2 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 4 warnings.

* final provides and requires are sane
* %check is present and all tests pass.
* owns the directories it creates.
* doesn't own any directories it shouldn't.
* no duplicates in %files.
* file permissions are appropriate.
* code, not content.
* documentation is small, so no -docs subpackage is necessary.
- %docs are not necessary for the proper functioning of the package.
  I think unitTests should not be %doc

Would be nice if you could solve this license question and I will approve this package

Thanks Pierre-Yves for the review so far. I just sent the two upstream maintainers a e-mail about this issue and hope to hear back from them soon.

Quick update: I got the first response from upstream within an hour which signaled they're willingness to resolve this situation. Now I just got another response that they're about to make the necessary changes and push an update to CRAN. They will let me know when the new version is available.

any news ?

Not yet. There's no new release being published yet. I could check if they have an idea as to when they're ready.

Still nothing ?

There's been a new release recently but I don't think this issue has been addressed :( Also I never got a reply to my last email :(

But I don't give up yet, wrote yet another message. If that doesn't work I'll think about going to their office, they should be in reachable distance.

Finally, I've been informed that a new version addressing this issue has been released. It's not yet in CRAN but should be as soon as it's approved there.

* There is 1 %dir
  %dir is OK

* Build is clean from warnings or errors
* All checks are passed
* License (GPLv2+) is compatible with Fedora
* Warnings from rpmlint are safe to ignore (although calendarical might be worth to change)

I trust you can fix the Requires issue before importing the package into the CVS, therefore this package is 

APPROVED.
