I am trying to use {rcmdcheck} for our "ancient" tests on R 3.2.0+, but it doesn't work because some of {rcmdcheck}'s upstream dependencies themselves now depend on higher versions of R:
Dependency
R dependency
callr
3.4
cli
3.4
desc
3.4
pkgbuild
3.5
with
3.5
proccesx (via xopen)
3.4
Obviously all the better if those upstream dependencies could allow an even older version of R to be tested in CI, but at least declaring {rcmdcheck} Depends: R (>= 3.5.0) would make for easier failure messaging.
