Hey everybody!
We have created our own package, and need to do some corrections in
the R-code of one of the function included in the package.
How can I do that. I have read a manual how to create an R package,
but I can't find anything about updating R-code in the package.
I'm pretty sure the only "correct" thing to do is just fix the code in
your package's source tree then reinstall the package wholesale to
replace the bad code with the fixed code.
Yes, that's the simplest way to do it. It also usually works for
testing to just source the file containing the fix, to get a new copy in
the global environment. This can sometimes fail if the function refers
to other functions in the package that are not visible in the global
environment, due to NAMESPACE hiding. It's possible to manipulate the
environment of the sourced function (and it's even possible to place it
into the right place so it just works), but those usually aren't worth
the trouble.
