[Bioc-devel] packaging failing build on kunpeng2 due to R version

Hi all,

My package 'carnation' is failing the build on kunpeng2 with the error:

      -----------------------------------
ERROR: this R is version 4.5.0, package 'carnation' requires R >= 4.6.0
      -----------------------------------
ERROR: package installation failed

I have the R version requirement set to 4.6.0 as per bioconductor new
package contributions guidelines, and the package is passing all checks on
the other two test runners nebbiolo1 and kjohnson3. Do I need to set the R
version requirement to >= 4.5.0? However, if I did that I am concerned that
the checks will raise NOTEs or WARNINGs on the other two systems.

Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

Best,
Apratim
