Hi, Currently, most of the R packages included in Fedora use the following lines in the SPEC:
URL: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/%{packname}/ Source0: https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/%{packname}_%{version}.tar.gz This URL format is not recommended by CRAN, but more importantly, the Source0 format does not work anymore, as [1] noted, when a new version is released. However, there is an immutable format available, as [2] pointed out. So my proposal is to use always the following lines instead: URL: https://cran.r-project.org/package=%{packname} Source0: %{url}&version=%{version} which are both shorter and immutable, and I propose to add this to the R packaging guidelines too. If we agree on this, is there any easy way to request a system-wide change like that to all existing packages?
