[R-SIG-Mac] suppress PowerPC package build on Lion with R-devel

[Simon Urbanek]

Garth,

I bet you didn't use the Installer. The tar ball contains more than your system can handle, that's why the installed removes ppc binaries on Lion. You can do the same by hand with something like
sudo rm -rf `find /Library/Frameworks/R.framework -name ppc`

However, I'd recommend using the Installer instead since there are other Lion-specific actions (such as changing the default arch etc.). 

Cheers,
Simon
