[Rd] data(package = "..") gives extraneous warning (PR#1024)
Not too hard to fix, the following buglet (new in 1.3.0),
but I'm about to leave for one week (of vacation)..
Here is an example (for Linux) :
lynne{sfs}214> cd /tmp
lynne{sfs}215> mkdir blue
lynne{sfs}216> cd blue
/tmp/blue
lynne{sfs}217> echo 'data(package = "mva")'|R-1.3.0
--vanilla

Data sets in package `mva':
Harman23.cor Harman Example 2.3
Harman74.cor Harman Example 7.4
ability.cov Ability and Intelligence Tests
Warning message:
package `blue' contains no datasets in: data(package = "mva")

-------------------
See the warning line at the very end.
It's because of the new data() feature of looking for data sets in the
current directory...

It's because of the new data() > feature of looking for data sets in the current directory...Don't think that this is a new feature ... Anyway, fixed now. Nevertheless, the idea of also looking for data sets in the working directory needs rethinking. Do we really want this? If so, then e.g. we need to fix warnings if there is a data dir but no index (the working dir is not simply a `package' ...). -k -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-devel mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)
