I have recently faced a similar warning.
This is when a link to a help page of another package is broken (there is
not such help page). Although those could be false positives:
mclapply help page does exists in parallel package.
as.MAList does exists in devel limma

when \link-ing to another package, from RShowDoc("R-exts") section 2.5 the [] has to name the html help page, not the name of the function. For instance, `mclapply` is documented on a man page called mcdummies.Rd (!), so '\link[parallel:mcdummies]{nearest} would presumably not generate the warning. Similarly \link[limma:asmalist]{as.MAList}.

There are several things that still need exploration.

- platform-specific (I have a vague understanding that Windows is special, but that might be outdated... [at least in this context...])

- recent. I have to admit to changing the text of the warning with this commit


https://github.com/wch/r-source/commit/cbd7ca1b1aedf0405e11ee2440fbde891cba524e

but what I was intending to do was to change what it says, from the warning in release ('missing file link') to what it says, correctly, in devel 'file link ... does not exist and so has been treated as a topic'. The old text appears in release, and the new in devel, as anticipated. If I messed up somehow please let me know...

- even with the warning, the link isn't broken in the dynamic help system (it might have been broken prior to my commit...).

Dear All,

Two packages I maintain are showing, in Windows, a warning during check
with messages like

Rd warning:
C:/Users/biocbuild/bbs-3.7-bioc/tmpdir/Rtmp21WlQD/R.INSTALL23343f935731/
OncoSimulR/man/oncoSimulIndiv.Rd:570:
file link 'mclapply' in package 'parallel' does not exist and so has been
treated as a topic

or

Rd warning:
C:/Users/biocbuild/bbs-3.7-bioc/tmpdir/RtmpQfQaA1/R.
INSTALL1ec81d5b6233/ADaCGH2/man/inputToADaCGH.Rd:45:
file link 'as.MAList' in package 'limma' does not exist and so has been
treated as a topic



that I cannot reproduce under Linux and that I think are false
positives. Is there a way to avoid this warning? As far as I can tell,
those links really exist.

Best,


R.
