[R-pkg-devel] how to specify to let a package only build 64bit on CRAN

[Jan Wijffels]

Hello everyone,

I have a package which I would like to host on CRAN. The package is at https://github.com/bnosac/golgotha
The package only builds on 64bit however because the package uses R package reticulate which requires a python library called torch which does not build on 32 bit platforms.
So installation only works using INSTALL_opts = "--no-multiarch"

How do you specify this to the CRAN maintainers that this is the way it should be set up on CRAN such that it only is built for 64bit systems.

thanks,
Jan
