R devel - May 2013 - Package update for old version of R

Hi,

Is is possible to create a release of a package against an older version of R? I
would like to release a new version of the package I maintain, but have some
errors when I test it against R 3.0.0. Would CRAN accept a new release that
works with R 2.15.3 but not R 3.0.0?

Thanks,
Eilidh Troup

I strongly doubt it. By the CRAN logic, it would move immediately to the
Archived folder, which is a fairly obscure place to have your users go look...

They're usually helpful in getting you to fix the errors, though.
