As I was running "R CMD check" on one of my older packages (matlab), I was attempting to fix one of the NOTEs which bitches about attempting to change the search path using require().
In my case, I am repeating a package dependency for "methods" package in my .onLoad() function. Can this scenario (based on something B. Ripley discussed many years ago) no longer occur? Just another R package anachronism? Was I really modifying the search path by repeating a DESCRIPTION dependency? .onLoad <- function(libname, pkgname) { ## In case namespace is loaded (via import) by package that ## doesn't depend on S4 methods and used in a session with ## non-default set of packages. require(methods) Š } ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
