Most of this has been answered by others already. Note that package base itself is always imported into the Namespace but names from the other packages are not and really need to be if actually used. Best, Uwe Ligges On 29.06.2015 19:09, Kevin Ushey wrote: Hi Uwe, It seems like this is quite

Dan, I find it useful to reference external functions as package::function() throughout all of our R code. This eliminates the need to import namespaces although you still need to to specify the package in the DESCRIPTION file "Imports:" section. Best, Jon On Mon, Jun 29, 2015 at 8:46 AM, Uwe L

Hi Uwe, It seems like this is quite a major change; I imagine it will affect many packages (since lots of packages implicitly assume other 'base' packages, like 'utils', will always be available in an R session). IIUC, in the latest versions of R-devel, only the 'base' package can be assumed avail

Re: [R-pkg-devel] appropriate directory for data downloads in examples, demos and vignettes

Regarding alternative places for scripts, you can add a directory (eg inst/testLocalScripts) and then with a recently added R CMD feature you can do R CMD check --test-dir=inst/testLocalScripts your-package.tar.gz This will not (automatically) be checked on CRAN. Beware that you also need to

Following the answer posted by 'James' at: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12598242/global-variables-in-packages-in-r I have the user set the data directory by editing a file (yourdatadirpath) which is then read into options() on package load. .onLoad<-function(libname=find.package("datapkg"

Re: [R-pkg-devel] appropriate directory for data downloads in examples, demos and vignettes

I would use tempfile() instead of /tmp/. That should create a file/directory that will get cleaned up when the R session ends, instead of when the machine reboots. AFAIK it also works on windows. On Mon, Jun 29, 2015 at 8:25 AM, Jonathan Callahan < jonat...@mazamascience.com> wrote: > Hi, > > The

Hi, The MazamaSpatialUtils package has a required "package state" variable which users set to specify where they want to store large amounts of GIS data that is being downloaded and converted by the package. The implementation of this follows
