Hi Michael and everybody, I am all for it but I would like to propose something bigger. Let r-bioc-biocgenerics (or r-bioc-biocbase) provide a virtual package called r-bioc-supported-architectures available for amd64 and arm64 only, and make all r-boc-* depend on it at the next BioC release (which takes place this month). People who want r-bioc-* packages on other architectures can first work on portability issues outside the Debian main archive, and can create a local version of r-bioc-supported-architectures to enable building BiocC on what they want. If the mass-build looks sustainable we can consider add, maybe after consulting BioC upstream about future prospects. I think that bioinformaticians can aim for other architectures if they have appetite for the work it represents, and portrers can aim for bioinformatics if they have the workforce for it, but by default we should not build these packages everywhere because it puts the whole burden on mostly just us.
