R version requirement

[Martin R. Smith]

Hi,

When trying to install sp on R 3.6.3, installation fails with

object 'palette.colors' is not exported by 'namespace:grDevices'

The sp DESCRIPTION file specifies Depends: R (≥ 3.5.0), but palette.colors was not added until after R3.6.
Does the DESCRIPTION file need updating, or can the use of palette.colors be avoided, for example by if (packageVersion("base") <= "3.6.3") /*manual workaround*/ else palette.colors?

Thanks,

Martin

are you sure this is caused by sp?

You're right, the issue was not with sp – apologies for the error.
