By chance I happen to be looking for this package myself in Fedora today.

First up the URL seems wrong:

http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/lmtest/index.html

it probably should be:

http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/zoo/index.html

Just some quick notes before I do the full review (probably won't get to until
later):

Builds fine in rawhide:

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=601520

Not sure if 

BuildRequires:    tetex-latex

is the best BR for latex now that texlive has landed, I think there are some
generic tex(latex) provides now?  Although they may not work on F-8 or earlier.
 Check http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/FeatureTexLive and/or the texlive
maintainer for the current best practice.

rpmlint R-zoo-1.5-1.fc8.noarch.rpm 
R-zoo.noarch: W: wrong-file-end-of-line-encoding

R-zoo.noarch: W: one-line-command-in-%postun /usr/lib/rpm/R-make-search-index.sh

According to:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/R

the one-line-command warnings (the last 2) can be ignored, but the line-encoding
should probably be fixed.

- Fix URL
- Fix line endings
- Change requires to tex(latex)

Thanks for the comments.

Unfortunately it looks like the virtual provides haven't been added yet for F-7
or F-8, so you'll probably need a construct like this:

%if 0%{?fedora} >= 9
BuildRequires:    tex(latex)
%else
BuildRequires:    tetex-latex
%endif

ultimately (once F-8 goes EOL), you can then ultimately remove the tetex-latex BR.

Full review below.  Show me an updated spec that addresses the issue of the BR 
and I should be able to quickly approve.

One last thought: it might be a good idea to update the Summary: to include the
term "time series" so it can be found easily in a "yum search" or similar.

* Mon May 12 2008 Orion Poplawski <orion.com> 1.5-3
- Include time series in summary
- Fix up build requires for older versions

Thanks for the changes, looks good.   Did a koji build on F-9 which worked:

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=606658

so APPROVED.

(Note: there appears to be some issue with it building on F-10 because of the
update to 2.7.0: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=606645 it's
looking for a missing unpackaged file, but this can probably be fixed easily
after import).

Looks like R-2.7.0 is a bit smarter about including standard files like NEWS if
they are present, so it should be added to the %doc in %files before import.  I
noticed there are a couple of other documentation files that should probably
included as well such as THANKS and WISHLIST.

These can be fixed during or just after import, but should be fixed before
building on any release.

Ping?  This has been approved so you should be able to import it (making sure
that you include NEWS in %files as per the (now updated) guidelines:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/R )
