Hello,
Numerous CRAN packages report minimum R versions within the Depends field
of the DESCRIPTION file.
Is this reporting always necessary?
Hadley Wickham's book "R Packages" states:
"You can also use Depends to require a specific version of R, e.g. Depends: R
(>= 3.0.1) . As with packages, it’s a good idea to play it safe and require
a version greater than or equal to the version you’re currently using.
devtools::create() will do this for you."
devtools::check() doesn't warn about not specifying R version, so I am just
curious.
Thanks.
Cheers,
Jarrett
