i totally agree. but when it comes to keeping something on CRAN, even a silly WARNING can shut the door. i really admire the quality management they keep up there, but the zero tolerance for even the slightest deviation is sometimes a bit too harsh, for my taste. i had to withdraw roxyPackage from CRAN because of such a stupid problem.[*] viele grüße :: m.eik [*] roxyPackage calls tools:::news2Rd() to create NEWS.Rd files -- which is exactly what the manual on news() tells administrators to do. i however was told not to use unexported ::: functions. but to my knowledge there is no other way to do this job. so i asked them to solve this by exporting that particular function in the tools package instead; i mean, if they *want* you to use it, why not export it already? but they did not like the idea, and i was not willing to lose the functionality i was able to implement by using the NEWS.Rd file (especially the RSS feed). apart from that, i find it infuriating that packages are being blocked if the ship a copy of the GPL in their sources. -- dipl. psych. meik michalke institut f"ur experimentelle psychologie abt. f"ur diagnostik und differentielle psychologie heinrich-heine-universit"at d-40204 d"usseldorf
