I have been working on packaging (for internal use only) multiple versions of R (eg 2.14.1, 2.14.2, 2.15.0) such that I can install these RPMs and provide the different versions of R (especially 2.14.x and 2.15.x) to the biostatisticians that require them. I have been messing around with the R.spec file but I have been unable to get the package to provide R in the location I would like:
/usr/lib64/R-2.14.1/ /usr/lib64/R-2.15.0/
Now I know this can be done but I am just having some difficulty in getting it to work correctly. I have tried multiple variations in the spec playing with adding -%{version} to the paths within the spec file, as well as even using -libdir=/usr/lib64/R-%{version} which works to a point, but basically provides:
/usr/lib64/R-2.14.1/R/ /usr/lib64/R-2.15.0/R/
I have attached the spec file I have been modifying and would appreciate any insights into getting this packaging correct.
Thank you in advance for any assistance Michael Weiner
