tar support and R 4.0.3 #421

Closed chainsawriot closed 4 months ago

chainsawriot commented 4 months ago

The tar() functions was buggy before R 4.0.3. See issue 16716.

As #415 #400 went into implementing the promised tar support and it has now been implemented, the support won't work on R < 4.0.3 and it reflects in the CI check with R 3.6.

We have two paths: 1. boost this

https://github.com/gesistsa/rio/blob/d5775f306aad7ee0894ba4daee4373b26f836f90/DESCRIPTION#L42

  1. check the R version and error when one uses the tar function with R < 4.0.3.

I am more in flavor of the path 2.
