[Yes, indeed, impressively so, as unchanged non-archived CRAN package.]
Indeed, the C code in powell does printf(<warning_msg>)
which is not good. Rather it should use R's API for warning
messages -- as these work on all platforms, also inside GUIs --
and also as the user can then use suppresWarnings(.) etc.
This will definitely not go away with R 3.3.0 or any later
version of R.
But then maintainer("powell") is still active, and his e-mail
address at your fingertips,..., right ?
--> I've BCC'ed Sundar, so he is informed.
With best regards,
