> Also, i see no license text or file in this package.

Are you under the impression that this is mandatory?  If there's a license file
in the upstream tarball then it has to be included in the package.  If upstream
includes no license file then the package maintainer certainly doesn't have to
manufacture one.

That's great; do you just do the usual R CMD INSTALL and give the other
directory?  Does this work for FC6 and F7?

> I'd argue that the DESCRIPTION is a useful %doc item.

I certainly agree; rpm -q --info certainly does not give the same information as
is present in the DESCRIPTION file.  I really don't understand why Xavier would
make such a comment unless he didn't actually look at what's in the file.
