Hi!
I have written an R-package
(http://tocsy.agnld.uni-potsdam.de/wavelets/index.html) in R 2.4.1
that requires the ts() function. Users using R 2.5.0 now have a
problem installing this package. I checked the package using R 2.5.0:
_______________________________________________________
* Installing *source* package 'sowas' ...
** libs
gcc -std=gnu99 -I/usr/users10/hrust/share/lib64/R/include
-I/usr/users10/hrust/share/lib64/R/include -I/usr/local/include
-fpic -g -O2 -c invmorlet.c -o invmorlet.o
gcc -std=gnu99 -shared -L/usr/local/lib64 -o sowas.so invmorlet.o
** R
** data
** preparing package for lazy loading
Loading required package: Rwave
Attaching package: 'Rwave'
The following object(s) are masked from package:stats :

** building package indices ...
Read 3192 items
Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) : could not find function "ts"
Execution halted
ERROR: installing package indices failed
** Removing '/usr/users10/hrust/tmp/sowas.Rcheck/sowas'
____________________________________________________
In the corresponding DESCRIPTION File, the depend line reads:
Depends: R,Rwave,stats
I read in the 2.5.0 news, that ts has been defunct. So I added
Depends: R,Rwave,stats,ts
Now I get the following error:
_____________________________
* checking for working latex ... OK
* using log directory '/usr/users10/hrust/tmp/sowas.Rcheck'
* using R version 2.5.0 (2007-04-23)
* checking for file 'sowas/DESCRIPTION' ... OK
* this is package 'sowas' version '0.93'
* checking package dependencies ... ERROR
Former standard packages required but now defunct:
ts
See the information on DESCRIPTION files in the chapter 'Creating R
packages' of the 'Writing R Extensions' manual.
_________________________
Actually, I have read the "Writing R Extensions" about the DESCRIPTION
file but could not find any helpful information. Has anybody got some
idea?
Cheers

ts() is in package stats, and has been for some years.
Package ts was removed at the same time. The NEWS item say
o The autoloading of ts() is defunct.
which is very far from your misquote.
The problem is in the data directory of your package. E.g.,
sowas/data/air.R has
air<-ts(data=x,start=t[1],frequency=12)
and you have not arranged for package 'stats' to be available. You need
stats::ts.
Please study 'Writing R Extensions' for the requirements on R code to be
used by data().
