R help - Mar 2006 - Disable LazyLoading mechanism completely

Is there a global option somewhere that can completely
disable the LazyLoad option? I want all my packages
in source format for searching purposes, crippled by
the conversion to database format.

AFAICT setting LazyLoad=No in DESCRIPTION might do the trick. 

For reasons I fail to understand I have to set it to that value for Debian
builds of the Rcmdr package, and the resulting package does indeed have R
code as plain sources. I'd agree with you that being able to read, and hence
search, the code is a good thing but I also trust the R masters on the
advantages of lazy loading.  There may be an option to diable it globally ...

Why not just keep the source?  Maybe I misunderstood where you're 
thinking of searching, but I think even without LazyLoad, you'll lose 
comments in the functions.
