Hi,
I've a package where it has been suggested that one of the functions --
call
it "myfn()" -- should be called something else, say "thefn()". Of
course, I'll
need to keep the old name around for a while.
Web search has suggested simple assignment of
thefn <- myfn
but I cannot seem to get this to work with R CMD check when I put this
in a .R
file in the code and put alias and usage stanzas in documentation. I get
alias
and missing argument type errors. I've tried a number of variations on
this theme
without appreciable success.
Can you make the package available? It should work.
Best,
Uwe
A workaround is to copy the entire function with Roxygen2 documentation and
name change, but this seems inelegant.
Is there a better way e.g., using something like onLoad ? Pointers to
working
examples in CRAN or Github packages would be welcome.
Best, JN
