@ankkhedia @anirudhacharya why [email protected]? there are bug fixes/performance improvements post this version https://github.com/xianyi/OpenBLAS/releases
Usually you create symlink without the version to a specific version something like this. if there are multiple 0.3* version, the command fails
ln -sf /usr/local/opt/openblas/lib/libopenblasp-r0.3.1.dylib /usr/local/opt/openblas/lib/libopenblasp.dylib

it picks up the BLAS version from the machine where the R-package was built. We explored not hard-linking to a particular BLAS version, but that is not trivial. Will revisit it again. Either ways, this PR need not be blocked because of that right?

@ankkhedia @anirudhacharya - can you please take a look at Naveen's comment? |
@lupesko Can you check the response regarding targeting a specific version? LMK if that's resolved or not. |
|
Had a discussion with @nswamy and @anirudhacharya and we agreed to update it so that user installs the latest openblas and we symbolically link it with whatever version they have. PR update to follow. |

@lupesko is this ready to ship? |
