R-devel rpm name conflict #251

Description

@rundel

The current naming convention used for the R-devel rpm package for Fedora (and I assume other rpm based distro) conflicts with the distribution R-devel package which prevents install unless using a solely r-builds based R deployment.

Some slight modification of the internal naming scheme (within the package metadata) for the r-builds package would resolve this issue.

sudo dnf install R-devel-1-1.x86_64.rpm
