Hi,
I'm putting together an R package. In explaining how it works (in the Rd
files), I want to refer to another package. The other package is not used
anywhere in the actual code nor in the examples. So, there is no reason to
include the other package in the Depends, Suggests, or Imports lines of the
DESCRIPTION file. People will be able to use my package without actually
installing the other package.
However, "R CMD check" warns about "Missing link(s)" when it is checking the
cross references in the Rd files.
What is the preferred way to make this warning go away?
Follow the 'Writing R Extensions' manual. There is a 3-item bullet
point in ยง1.1.1 following
'The general rules are'
and your claims contradict the third point.
Thanks in advance,
Kevin
