alexanderp [1] filed a orphan request for r-mkl [2]: The maintainer has not updated the package in a very long time, even though I have already sent him/her a patch which fixes the build script. I also have a working PKGBUILD of the latest R version (3.2.3) and would like to submit it to the AUR. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/alexanderp/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/r-mkl/
