Depends: R(>= ?)
I am just working through my set of tests for R 1.1.0 and everything seems to be going fairly well other than a couple of bugs already reported and fixed. I previously specified Depends: R(>= 1.0.1). I have been making small changes to my own code and since I have been doing this with R 1.0.1 I am fairly sure everything still works with it, but I don't intend to test this as carefully as R 1.1.0. Should I change "Depends" to indicate 1.1.0? Now I realize what the "safest" answer would be, but I can see this will be an ongoing problem and the implication of changing each time is that my packages always depend on the latest version of R. I can see the posssibilty of testing 1.0.1 and 1.1.0, but when R 1.99 arrives I don't see any possibility for testing every version since R 1.0.1. Should "Depends" indicate what is "known to be at least necessary" or should it be something stronger than that?
