[R-pkg-team] Bug#1037439: Opinions about removal of 32bit architecture for r-cran-rstan (Was: Bug#1037439: r-cran-rstan/armhf FTBFS with r-cran-bh 1.74)

[Dirk Eddelbuettel]

Nilesh,

But nobody suggested to turn 32bit builds for R off so it was not a question
that needed adressing. Or did I miss something here?

We do have _a_ package failing.  My first suggestion always is to talk to
upstream (and I did so on June 13 in my first post on this bug report). Has
anybody done that?

If upstream does not want to 'own' this I concur that removeal is sensible
even for a package with dependencies.  Stan is for power users on performant
machines and these MCMC runs take a loooooong time. Turning i386 off is a
sensible choice in my book.

Best, Dirk
