Hi


Hi,

I have a R package with some functions made all of then only with R
code. I use the command R CMD build to build a package that I can
install on linux, windows or mac, because all the code is only R code.
But I have some problems with R version. For each new R version I need
to rebuild the package to be install in this new version. It is possible

to make a package without this R Version dependence? I know that in a
little cases I need to adapt my package when R change some of this basic

functions, but it is very rare.

Any idea? Is only a tag to put on my package? Or this is the correct
way, maintain the R version dependence?

Not sure if this is "correct" way but on windows I usually only copy my
package from one R version to another.

This may or may not work. For example, with the change of the help system for R-2.10.0, all packages had to be reinstalled. With R-2.14.0, all packages must have a NAMESPACE that is otherwise genertated on installation. There may other changes that effect less (but still some) packages for other R releases, hence it is always advisable to re-install after you upgraded from R-x.y.z to a new R-x.y+1.z* release.

update.packages(checkBuilt=TRUE) does that for CRAN and BioC (if a BioC repository / mirror is chosen) packages.
