Whoops. Caught me. Can anyone guess which spec file I used as a base? :)

Yes, it should be there. Note that all of these packages are targeted at
FC4 (devel). They could probably be made to work on FC3, if there is
interest.

Nope.

Yup.

The fc3 version of R-devel requires gcc-g77. The fc4 (devel) version
requires gcc-gfortran. So, this is expected behavior on fc3.

If there is demand, I can start making fc3 packages for review alongside
the devel packages.
