If you check out the buildscripts from Subversion (or from the GIT clone of the repository), you'll notice that it has already been updated. Granted, that in itself took longer than usual, but I suppose that was basically just lack of maintainer time. The main issue now is linking to lapack, which fails. There is a symlink hack (you can refer to the python3- PKGBUILD in AUR), but we do not know why and how (this works). Without that hack, SciPy should not be choosy about linking to static or dynamic lapack libs, but in this case it builds only if a static lapack is present. The reason for the stall in releasing an update is basically waiting to sort out this behaviour. Otherwise, it's good to go. -- GPG/PGP ID: 8AADBB10
