v3.4.0 incompatible with R < 4.2.2
I hope this repository is still be monitored, despite v3.4.0 not being pushed here. The v3.4.0 DESCRIPTION lists methods (>=4.2.2)
as a requirement, but still has R (≥ 4.0)
. AFAIK, core packages like methods
synchronize versions with R itself, so the v3.4.0 is effectively R (>= 4.2.2)
only. Is it really the case the package depends on new functionality in methods
?
This seems overly restrictive - please consider continuing to support R 4.1.

repo owner -
reporter Thanks for the prompt reply and great package!
That would work, but I think it is redundant. I believe the
R >=4.0
specification itself entails version constraints onbase
,stats
,methods
, etc.. So, one could just let the R version specification do its work and drop the explicitmethods
version constraint. -
repo owner Funny, that just occurred to me after my initial response. Thats what I’ll do.
I never even had the
methods
dependency until this version, but the more stringent check with CRAN were throwing errors on type comparison with strings, ie(class(x) === 'string')
Let me wait a week to see if there are any other remarks from the community before I submit a revision.

Hello Nicholas,
I have actually the same issue than Mervin. I’m using R 4.2.1 and it says that ggtern need methods from 4.2.2. To be honest I just recently updated my R environment to 4.2.1 so if there is a way to not do the whole process again and use your tool it would be amazing.
Have a nice day and thanks again for your work,
PB

All the best!

Mervin,
Sorry about that, I have pushed 3.4.
So if I make the methods version minimum 4.0 also, would that be the optimal solution in your view ?
