Thanks.  I didn't realize it had been updated.

Yes.  For the record, the new version also requires checking out devel/py-singledispatch.  However, after that it works with pkgsrc-2015Q1.

Is there a reason not to add a buildlink3.mk file to the py-rpy package?  The reason I needed to update was because it is a dependency for another package I am working on.  That one presumably would like to use the buildlink file.  Or should I rely solely on DEPENDS lines in the Makefile?
