[Rd] Importing from a package with dependencies

2011-09-10 Thread steven mosher
I needed to do a little cleanup on my packages ( before trying Rd2Roxygen) and that involved switching some packages from my Depends list to Imports. Specifically, I had a dependency on "R.utils", but since I only used one or two functions (gunzip ) I thought it best to importFrom("R.utils",gunz

I create & maintain all my packages using the 'mvbutils' package. Documentation in plain-text format (not Rd) is stored along with each function definition--- so when you edit your function, its doco is right there too, and it looks like proper documentation, not code-comments or quasi-Latex. Th

Exactly. Rd2roxygen is proud to be a member of the "Lazy Ally", and tries to make diligent developers lazier... Although it does not guarantee a perfect transition from Rd to roxygen (be sure to check out the documentation), it should be able to save you a considerable amount of time. Regards, Yih

I think posting this to R-devel was a good idea. In any case, the new maintainer should be aware about the many dependencies and that she or he should be careful not to break code of others when updating. Thank you for your contributions!!! Best wishes, Uwe Ligges On 10.09.2011 19:14, Dav

I would be leery of just taking over as maintainer if a package still works and passes all checks on CRAN. My personal take is that even commercial packages ignore feature requests, and to expect such from an OSS one is expecting too much. Of course patches are welcomed, but they can't honestly be
