I'm "happy" to have found the first problem myself:
'Matrix' doesn't pass R CMD check anymore with the change I had
committed:
Basically because of this:
> all.equal(cbind(1:5), matrix(1:5, 5,1, dimnames=list(NULL,NULL)))
[1] "Attributes: < Names: Lengths (1, 2) differ (string compare on first 1) >"
[2] "Attributes: < Length mismatch: comparison on first 1 components >"
This new behavior is "S-compatible" insofar as S-plus 6.1 also
returns non-TRUE.
Is this what we want?
{we'll see soon how many other CRAN packages are having problems for it}
In my intuition, I'd have liked all.equal() to return TRUE for the above,
since in principle, dimnames = NULL or dimnames = list(NULL,NULL)
is a trivial difference.
OTOH, it will need "special case" code to assure this, and I
wonder if that's worth it.
Please comment!
