Is R 3.5.0 *really* a requirement? #2

Thanks for the awesome work with this package!

I have no issues installing soiltexture on my Mac. However, I recently started using a Linux cluster for some analyses and I can't get to install soiltexture.

From within R: Warning message: package ‘soiltexture’ is not available (for R version 3.4.1)

From the command line: R CMD INSTALL soiltexture_1.4.6.tar.gz *installing to library ‘/home/thiagods/R-packages’ ERROR: this R is version 3.4.1, package 'soiltexture' requires R >= 3.5.0 The main issue here is that R v3.5.0 binaries are not available for Linux yet!

Hence, I was wondering: does soiltexture really depend on any feature provided by R 3.5.0? If no, is there any chance the requirements could be "lowered down" to R 3.4?

Many thanks, Thiago.

I guess this issue has been fixed in the latest release - thanks! I'm closing it now.

Dear Thiago,

Sorry for the very delayed reply

I was going to write that I have for rules to set R version requirements to R version(s) I tested, and I have too little time to test other R versions than the latest R release (as it is required by CRAN). But then I saw that it is now possible to test packages against several versions of R when using Travis CI. So I now used Travis CI to test the package against R 3.1, and it seems to work. So I updated the requirements in the latest version of the package on CRAN (now decreased to R 3.1).
