R devel - Dec 2021 - Feature request: compareVersion

Hi,

currently I have to use

compareVersion(as.character(packageVersion("shiny")),
"0.11")

It would be nice if compareVersion would make the as.character 
internally, rather then force the user to do it.

Thanks

Sigbert

Well, if you follow the help page examples of packageVersion()
you would use
> packageVersion("Matrix") >= "1.4.0"
[1] TRUE
> packageVersion("shiny") >= "0.11"
[1] TRUE
