Dear developeRs,I've searched the documentation, FAQ, and mailing lists, but haven't found the answer(*) to the following: When should one specify LazyLoad, LazyData, and ZipData?
Preferably always, and I would suggest all should be 'yes' if your package will work with them.
And what is the default if they are left unspecified?
It varies by R version and platform. But as a guide LazyLoad: yes for all but small packages (those with less than 25Kb of R code) LazyData: no ZipData: yes on Windows if there is more than 100Kb of data and no duplicate namestems (e.g. foo.R and foo.tab).
(*)Except that 1) If the package you are writing uses the methods package, specify LazyLoad: yes, and 2) The optional ZipData field controls whether the automatic Windows build will zip up the data directory or no: set this to no if your package will not work with a zipped data directory.
