Nice! We do need more people working on scientific software.
pkglint -e runs clean, but I'm inviting some ruthlessly critical
feedback on this one so that future packages will require minimal tampering.
- You need to use REPLACE_PERL (hint: set PKG_DEVELOPER=yes)
- Homepage URL in DESCR is redundant (pkg_info will display HOMEPAGE)
- HOMEPAGE should not have /../
- "USE_LANGUAGES=c" is the default and can be omitted
- I think(?) we recommend using INSTALLATION_DIRS instead of AUTO_MKDIRS
Also, for extra ruthless mode you can try pkglint -Wall.
