Rebuild rpy against new R-2.4.1-1.fc6
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:11:51 EST
Description of problem: *sigh* yet another rebuild. I do wish you guys would better co-ordinate your R and R-dependent releases better. I see that the rpy.spec hasn't yet been updated, let alone building on: http://buildsys.fedoraproject.org/build-status/success.psp Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rpy-0.4.6-13.fc6 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. sudo yum upgrade Actual results: --> Running transaction check --> Processing Dependency: R = 2.4.0 for package: rpy --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Missing Dependency: R = 2.4.0 is needed by package rpy Expected results: rpy is upgraded.
FYI, it appears that there are several newer releases as well... 2006-04-04: 0.99.2 2006-08-08: 1.0-RC1 2006-12-11: 1.0-RC2 I don't know how stable the rc's are, but it might be worth upgrading to the latest version?
I was waiting until some time ago for numpy to stabilise, since newer versions support it instead of Numeric. That already happened and I will take the chance to move from a Numeric based rpy to a numpy based with rpy 1.0, probably I will do this only for F7. Your input is appreciated. :-) PS: Since the package is already built I will close this bug as fixed. Any further discussions can proceed in the fedora-r-devel list.
