I have added LazyLoad and LazyData to the DESCRIPTION files for my packages. This does not seem to cause problems with R-1.9.1 (although, if I understand correctly, it does not do anything). Should I be specifying Depends: R (>= 1.9.1) or Depends: R (>= 2.0.0)? What about older versions? Paul Gilbert
