dependencies for building R

Hi Tom,
As I maintain a few packages on CRAN, The Rules say I should build
them with an up to the minute version of R. Whenever I have installed
R from a repo, it always seems to be a few versions behind. I'll let
you know how it goes. Thanks.

Jim

Please take what follows as genuine curiosity, because it is. :-)

Your remark seems strange because in general Tom rebuilds R in one or two 
weeks after it is released, at least for point releases.

The issue sometimes happens when a new release happens where in some cases the 
only viable option is to rebuild all the R packages. In that case we need to 
come with a way to automatically rebuild the packages (because order matters 
here).

Is this the problem that you are seeing?
