R help - Sep 2004 - adding function to a Package

As a shortcut I have previously added my own functions to a Package (ipred)
under R-1.8.1,  changing the NAMESPACE file to accomodate this then
reinstalling. This doesn't now seem possible in R-1.9.0 is this correct?-- I
am getting an error saying:

"files NAMESPACE, R/ipred have the wrong MD5 checksums"

after I try to reinstall (which I can understand). Is there a quick way
round this avoiding having to build my own Package?

Thanks
Stephen

Looks like you have added to the binary rather than the soource package.
Please change the source package instaed and re-install.

BTW: It is a better idea to put the stuff in your own package, because 
it will be hard for you to go with each update of ipred, since you have 
to re-apply your patches again and again ...
