[Bioc-devel] Dependency issue

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
