[Bioc-devel] Dependency issue

[t.kuilman at nki.nl]

Hello everyone,

I have tested whether our new package CopywriteR could be installed, but surprisingly got the message that it could not be installed under R 3.1.2:

Warning message:
package ‘CopywriteR’ is not available (for R version 3.1.2)

All the dependencies of CopywriteR have R >= 3.1.0 or these depend on earlier versions of R. Can anyone tell me whether this dependency is imposed by Bioconductor or what would be the explanation for this? (I did note that during the BiocCheck checks I got the recommendation to update the R version dependency to 3.2 but I would rather have it backward compatible with older versions of R too)

Thanks,

Thomas
