Oh, this is good news.

I see that these new warnings have already been disabled in R-devel.

Thxs,

Indeed, another example, why we should move away from the
'file' instead of 'topic' (<-> \alias{.}) paradigm and requirement.

I'm optimistic we will do that soonish ...

Apropos: Today starts the virtual [useR! 2020] conference with
 an R-core Keynote and an R-core Panel for asking
 questions :

Not nice, but you may follow the way described in subsection 
"Platform-specific documentation" in WRE.


Best,
Uwe

How can I provide a \link{} reference to the help("mclapply",

[R-pkg-devel] How do you Rd reference parallel::mclapply() so it works also on Windows?

2020-07-07 Thread Henrik Bengtsson 
Here's another "Non-file package-anchored link(s) ..." issue.  I'd
like to reference parallel::mclapply() in my help pages.  With the new
R-devel requirements, you have to link to the file and not the topic.
However, there is no cross-platform stable file reference for
parallel::mclapply();

# According to R on Linux
> basename(help("mclapply", package="parallel"))
[1] "mclapply"

# According to R on Windows
> basename(help("mclapply", package="parallel"))
[1] "mcdummies"

How can I provide a \link{} reference to the help("mclapply",
package="parallel") documentation?

Thanks,

Henrik
