[R-pkg-devel] Question about selective platform for my R package

[Dason Kurkiewicz]

You'll want to examine the note on the SystemRequirements field for the
DESCRIPTION file in the same link as before. Actually maybe you should
spend some time reading through that documentation - it's a bit dry but
will get you more familiar with what's possible.

Super -- exactly what I needed!
My other question was how to define OS level dependencies like `hwloc` for
linux that is obtainable via the system package manager?

Thanks,
