dependencies for building R

Hi,

FWIW, a good solution to check packages on the latest R version (in
particular the development version) is to upload them to Winbuilder:
https://win-builder.r-project.org/

(I even seem to remember that CRAN recommends this.)

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.

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?
