Hi, So now R CMD check starts to warn against :::, but I believe sometimes it is legitimate to use it when developing R packages. For example, I have some utils functions that are not exported but I want to share them across the packages that I maintain. I do not need to coordinate with other authors about these internal functions since I'm the only author and I know clearly what I'm doing, and I want to avoid copying and pasting the code across packages just to avoid the NOTE in R CMD check. What should I do in this case?
Nothing. The way you describe above seems to be a reasonable usage, iff you are the same maintainer who knows what is going on. Other maintainers should not use one of your not exported (hence non API) functions, of course.
