[R-pkg-team] Bug#1078967: RM: r-bioc-affy [armel armhf i386] -- ROM; Upstream no longer supports 32-bit systems

Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: r-bioc-affy at packages.debian.org, debian-r at lists.debian.org, crusoe at debian.org

Dear FTP Team,

As part of the Bioconductor 3.19 transition, the Debian R team agreed [0] to remove builds for 32-bit architectures (where possible) in line with upstream's cessation of support for 32-bit systems.

Here is the 16th such removal request, this time for r-bioc-affy. `dak` dig flag that r-bioc-mackecdfenv also needs to be dealt with, and bug #1078964 has already been filed for that. Once that is dealt with then I think that there should be no issue removing the 32-bit architecture versions of this binary package:

$ ssh mirror.ftp-master.debian.org "dak rm --architecture=armel,armhf,i386 --no-arch-all-rdeps --binary-only --partial --rdep-check --no-action --no-arch-all-rdeps r-bioc-affy"
Will remove the following packages from unstable:

r-bioc-affy |   1.80.0-1 | armel, armhf, i386

Maintainer: Debian R Packages Maintainers <r-pkg-team at alioth-lists.debian.net>
