similar to: (no) circular dependency

Hi Thierry, Thanks for that, the trouble is functions are package specific so moving from one package to another could be a solution, but I would rather save that as a last resort. As mentioned, creating a package C with all the common functions could also be an option, but this strategy quickly inflates the number of packages on CRAN. If no other option is possible, that could be the way but I

Hi Mark, Uhm... sometimes this is not always possible. For example I have a package QCA which produces truth tables (all combinations of presence / absence of causal conditions), and it uses the venn package to draw a Venn diagram. It is debatable if one should assimilate the "venn" package into the QCA package (other people might want Venn diagrams but not necessarily the other QCA

Thanks all, I don't know either (for the moment). It's all in the design phase still. Generally, I would also like to keep specific functions in specific packages, if at all possible.

A third possibility, which I use in my gtools and gdata packages, is to use soft-links to create a copy of the relevant functions from one package in the other. I make sure these functions are *not* exported, so no conflicts are created, and the use of soft-links mean the code never gets out of sync. -Greg -- Change your thoughts and you change the world. --Dr. Norman Vincent Peale > On

Dear all, I'm not getting what I'm doing wrong. The line below from my read.fsa.bin function throws an error when just loading my AFLP package and disappears when I load the zoo package as well. #the line that throws the error Index <- which(Peak == rollmax(Peak, k = 1 + 2 * floor((min(diff(SizeStandard)) * Fs - 1) / 2), fill = -Inf)) #the error Error in UseMethod("rollmax")

At the risk of stating the over-obvious: there's also the option of creating just a single package containing all functions. None of the functions that create the interdependencies need to be exported that way. Btw, his question is probably better at home at the r-package-devel list.

Also, I think several small packages are preferable to one large one because attaching a big one just to get the one or two functions you want is also a waste.

Well, I'm not saying that Dmitri _should_ do it. I merely mention it as an option that I think is worth thinking about -- it is easy to overlook the obvious :-). Since we have no further info on the package's structure we can't be sure..

In that scenario, I would expect that QCA would suggest Venn and Venn would suggest QCA. Then there's no circular dependency problem.

Another, perhaps slightly off the wall reframing of the 3-package possibility: Have packages B, a, and UserFacingA, as follows *a* contains all the functionality in your A package that *does not depend on B* *B* *imports from* *a* and is essentially unchanged *UserFacingA* *Depends* on *a* and *imports from* *B*, it implements all functionality from your package A that *does depend on* *B*, and

Dear Dmitri, If it's only a small number of functions then move them the relevant functions for A to B so that B works without A. Then Import these functions from B in A. Hence A depends on B but B is independent of A. It is requires to move a lot of functions than you better create a package C with all the common functions. Then A and B import those functions from C.

Dear all, I get a bug in the examples of my AFLP package on R-forge (https://r-forge.r-project.org/R/?group_id=1027) but only on the Linux version. The windows version compiles. The Mac version skips the examples and compiles. The strange thing is that the packages compiles on my Ubuntu 10.10 machine with R 2.15.0. Therefore I can't reproduce the error. I have traced the problem at

Dear all, this is my first message to this mailing list - please advise if it is not the right place for the subject I've been using R very intensively the last 3-4 years and one of the most tedious tasks is modification of lookup or conversion tables So far, I have not found functions that create the commands for creating objects (vectors, data frames) based on the objects themselves -

Dear all, I'm trying to write a post_processor() for a custom rmarkdown format. The goal of the post_processor() is to modify the latex file before it is compiled. For some reason the post_processor() is not run. The post_processor() does work when I run it manually on the tex file. Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong? Below is the relevant snippet of the code. The full code is

Dear all, I'm trying to create a virtual S4 class with some subclasses. I noticed that adding slots to this class increases the memory use and slows the functions down. Note that I'm adding very small slots (integer or character both of length 1). I've made a reproducible example at https://github.com/ThierryO/testvirtualclass. The R CMD check --as-cran fails on the tests. Some of

Dear all, I'm trying to use a Markdown vignette with UTF-8 encoding. It compiles well when knitting the vignette in RStudio, but it fails to recognize the UTF-8 settings when building the source package. Can someone point out what I'm doing wrong?

Hi, Field RdMacros was introduced in file DESCRIPTION to allow users to import LaTeX-like macros from other packages. Currently 'R CMD Check --as-cran' gives a NOTE: > Unknown, possibly mis-spelled, field in DESCRIPTION: > ?RdMacros?

Thierry, I have this: if (require(MatrixModels) && require(Matrix)) { X <- model.Matrix(Terms, m, contrasts, sparse = TRUE) in my function rqss() I've tried variants of requireNamespace too without success. If I understand properly model.Matrix is from MatrixModels but it calls sparse.model.matrix which is part of Matrix, and it is the latter function that I'm not
