You will have to change the "Require R" to "Requires R-core".

Discuting with spot and tibbs, there might be a license issue with the file TimeSeriesFAQ.pdf in the inst/doc folder.

Waiting for spot's approval before I can approve this package

Comment 5 Pierre-YvesChibon 2010-11-19 16:21:17 UTC
There is the answer from spot:
"""
Red Hat legal agrees, as written, the license is non-free, but they doubt that was the intention. You might ask upstream to drop the "No warranty may be created or extended by sales representatives or written sales materials." line. 
"""

There is also a problem with the footer of the pdf which explicitly says:
"Please do not distribute"

Spot, tibbs and I would advice to ask upstream to remove this pdf from the package, you might also want to just rebuild a clean tarball without the pdf.

Comment 6 Sandro Mathys 2010-11-25 11:37:31 UTC
I sent upstream an email today, requesting to either remove those clauses from the PDF or to remove the PDF from the release tarball. I was in contact with upstream regarding an issue with another package already a while ago and they are very friendly, but rather slow in reacting :)

Comment 7 Pierre-YvesChibon 2011-01-07 08:28:07 UTC
Hi Sandro, happy new year !

Do we have any news on this issue ?

Comment 8 Pierre-YvesChibon 2011-01-19 14:07:12 UTC
nothing ?

Comment 9 Pierre-YvesChibon 2011-06-14 14:09:40 UTC
There has been no news for 5 months now. I am therefore closing this review.

If you ever hear from upstream and want to finish the review please re-open it!
