Re: [R-pkg-devel] Uncaught use of internal functions from other packages in R CMD check

Do note that ?asNamespace says: "Not **intended** to be called directly," (emphasis added) but not "should never be called directly" or some such. I don't know if this makes a difference to package checking, but it isn't clear to me that it would. Cheers, Bert Gunter "The trouble with having an

Duncan, thanks very much for that very helpful hint. I got as follows. My guess is that the first column in rdx$variables is an address offset, and so it seems that the lion's share of the storage is dedicated to items with names starting with a decimal point. For example, the "[[" item is

I can't install your package (I don't have an up to date GDAL), but maybe this is some help: - Package dependencies aren't included, except possibly for static linking of C/Fortran/C++ code. Those normally won't end up in an .rdb file. - .rdb files are part of the lazy load mechanism. You

I am working on a package (https://github.com/ArgoCanada/argoFloats) that has a 412K source tarball (most of which is data; the R code is 176K), but that creates a library .rdb file of MUCH larger size, namely 7.2M. This file causes a build NOTE, being over the threshold of 1M, and that
