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
