I am making changes to some of my packages that are exposed in CRAN. Some changes make them incompatible with previous R versions [and I use Depends: R (>= 2.1.0)]. I suspect that, as soon as I will upload this new version to CRAN, it will replace the old one _everywhere_?
No. It would not be offered as an update to systems running R < 2.1.0.
However, the previous version of these packages remains perfectly usable with R 1.9.X or 2.0.X. So, will this break the binaries in /windows/contrib/1.9|2.0, or will the latest valid binaries of my packages remain there, not updated? To put it another way, for
We do not update binary versions for obselete versions of R. Just look at the dates on the directories: 2.0 was last updated on April 19. And even if we did (the 1.9 directory was AFAIR updated for a bit after 2.0.0 came out) the version depending on R >= 2.1.0 would not build and so the last good version would be left.
