I am tweaking an R package for which I have the source; the relevant code is in R not C. I'm making changes to the package code.
What is the best workflow for doing this? I recall the advice used to be to remove the NAMESPACE during development, but I don't think this is possible anymore. For simplicity, suppose I have an outer level function f defined in f.R and an innder g in g.R defined in the package. My understanding is that if I modify g.R and load it (e.g., C-c C-l in ESS) this will have no effect on the code the f calls, since the latter is in a namespace. If I modify f.R and import it, I'm not sure if it can find g at all if it has not been exported. Web searches and reviewing the R Extensions manual have turned up information on how to trace into functions in namesapces, but not on the larger development cycle. Thanks.
