It is not, but that was a requirement of CRAN (if I remember correctly). If you have to stick to 4.1.1, I suggest cloning the repo, changing 4.2 to 4.1 in DESCRIPTION
, and installing the package from the source (Install button in Build section of RStudio).
I think you are right about it requiring a minimum version of R, but you make be able to put an older version. Something like R >= 3.6.
Hi, just wanted to add - our CRAN package relies/depends on R >= 3.0, released in April 2013. CRAN does not require you to rely on the newest R, just that all your functions work in the lowest version number you want to rely on.
I would advise to keep the R dependency number as low as possible to provide this package to as many users as possible. Thousands and thousands of R users are probably on older R versions - they cannot use openai
at the moment.
Yeah, maybe CRAN suggested supporting 4.2, but not just 4.2. it's advised to not do it: https://r-pkgs.org/description.html#sec-description-imports-suggests
You're right, it is indeed not a requirement. In the next version, I will downgrade to 3.4 (the highest version in my imported packages).
Given the tremendous interest in ChatGPT et.al. right now, please consider fixing this ASAP.!!
The dependence is downgraded to R 3.5 (also available from CRAN).
Is it necessary?
Installing CRAN version on 4.1.1
