[R-pkg-team] Bug#1041556: What is the architecture name in R what we call armel/armhf

[Andreas Tille]

Hi,

I tried to skip two tests in r-cran-checkmate with this patch[1]
which is based on

  arch <- R.version$arch
  identical(arch, "i386") || identical(arch, "i686") || identical(arch, "armel") || identical(arch, "armhf")

which works fo i386 but unfortunately not on the two armel architectures
where it is executed[2].  May be that R.version$arch returns different
architecture names as we use in Debian.  I tried to login to some porter
machines but for whatever reason I've got "Connection refused".

Any help for the proper names or possibly other reasons why the test
might fail are welcome.

Kind regards
  Andreas.
