[Slackbuilds-users] Lapack SlackBuild

Well, I'm late for the party but since this is about a SlackBuild I
maintain I may as well chip in :)
Firstly: James, I apologize for not replying sooner, but I've not had time
to deal with my SlackBuilds...
Which leads me to my next point: if you're interested in taking over my
BLAS/Lapack packages please feel free to do so!

However, IMHO, I would recommend Serban's SlackBuilds for cblas and Lapack
rather than mine seeing that Atlas gives you an optimized build rather than
just a reference implementation of the libraries.

Cheers,
Eugéne
