Subject: [Rd] Check R version dependency in R CMD Check
Message-ID: <CA+6hu7eMvwn_BxHm_h6WXgZx979gQywUDPcbexgQJQtQ4dZqBw@mail.gmail.com>

Hello,

I have a server with R 3.6.3 installed and I struggled a bit with
updating several R packages that utilizes some new syntax introduced in R
4.1.0, such as the native pipe |> or function definition shorthand \(x) ...

The thing is that these packages states "Depends: R (>= 3.6.0)" and pass R
CMD Check without any issues. My problem occurred at the installation time.
I can see that developers naturally include the new handy syntax but
oftentimes forget to raise R version dependency in their DESCRIPTIONs.
Should we employ some new checks?

Best,
Jan
