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?
