Crap... I think I sent a blank reply there. My bad!

This has not hit my mirror yet but i will try it when it does.  I think 
xorg-fonts-100dpi should possibly be a dependency because it is used for 
the main headings in plots. Given  X11 support is compiled in, this 
seems reasonable.

Am I correct in assuming that the default install directory for packages 
is not /usr/share/R/library ?  I had started trying to make a script 
that would manage CRAN packages.  The basic idea was to use R CMD BATCH 
on a script that set the install point to a temporary directory and 
built the R library.  This is then converted to standard pacman package 
using a generated PKGBUILD.  I am working to see if I can sort out 
dependencies in the CRAN packages and upgrading support before I make it 
available.  Is this the basic idea you use to maintain your CRAN 
packages or is there something simple I am missing?

Cheers,
Allan
