From R 2.9.0 we have the concept of versions for Rd files. The
manual is clear about the differences but I am unsure as to what I
should do about my existing packages. Is it recommended that I set
the version to 1.1 and then fix the errors R CMD check helpfully
points out and then subsequently do the same for later versions (the
manual mentions version 2 is coming)? What benefit will I gain?
This is currently somewhat in flux. Ask again in a couple of weeks.
(My preference is that \Rdversion specifies a minimum version needed, so
it's mostly redundant: the DESCRIPTION file could be used to say the
version of R needed, and Rd versions are going to change more slowly
than R versions. But as I said, this is in flux.)
