 I do that *with the current release of R* and I never had an issue
 whatsoever.  Incidentally the words 'This should be done with the current
 version of R-devel (or if that is not possible, current R-patched or the
 current release of R' translate in plainspeak 'run R CMD check --as-cran
 with whatever version of R provided it's not outdated'.


That's an interesting translation. Are you a CRAN maintainer?

I guess you were just lucky so far. Most packages are small and not
affected by changes between R-release and R-devel. But some of them are.

Also, R-devel typically has more rigorous package checks than R-release. My
package was delayed several times because it did not pass checks in R-devel
(it did in R-release). I guess this happened to other packages as well,
hence the sentence above was included in the policies.

 Hi All,
 
 
 I'm planning to submit my first package to R, and although I read all the
 documentation, I'm not very clear on the following 2 items, from which I'd
 appreciate your guidance:
 
 
 1)I understand it is suggested to use the R dev version to build the
 package. Which one specifically should I use to build a package on a Mac
 OS? How about package dependencies, which version should I install on the R
 dev version (and where should I get them)?
 

You can get latest R-devel builds for Mac OS X from

http://r.research.att.com

and the same is true for binary packages for R-devel - simply use 
http://r.research.att.com as the repository (in fact most CRAN mirrors should 
work as well).

Cheers,
Simon


 2) Not sure if this one belongs to this list. Does licensing follow the
 logic of inheritance (i.e. if all the package dependencies of my package
 are GPL-2 | GPL-3, does my package need to use the same license agreement?
 
 
 
 Thanks!
 
 Axel.
