Hello.

I've developed an algorithm in R which I need to package.
The implementation uses S4 objects and it's divided in 5 files.
Everything is working fine when I load the files into the R console but when
I try to make a package I get an error that I don't quite understand.

Here's what I do:

*1.* in R console, I do and get:
> package.skeleton(name='remora')
Creating directories ...
Creating DESCRIPTION ...
Creating Read-and-delete-me ...
Saving functions and data ...
Making help files ...
Done.
Further steps are described in './remora/Read-and-delete-me'.
Warning messages:
1: In dump(internalObjs, file = file.path(code_dir,
sprintf("%s-internal.R",  :
  deparse of an S4 object will not be
source()able
2: In dump(internalObjs, file = file.path(code_dir,
sprintf("%s-internal.R",  :
  deparse of an S4 object will not be
source()able
3: In dump(internalObjs, file = file.path(code_dir,
sprintf("%s-internal.R",  :
  deparse of an S4 object will not be
source()able
4: In dump(internalObjs, file = file.path(code_dir,
sprintf("%s-internal.R",  :
  deparse of an S4 object will not be source()able


I don't know why I get these warnings. I've followed R implementation rules
and the S4 objects work fine.


*2.* Performing the 'R CMD build remora' command I get:

* checking for file 'remora/DESCRIPTION' ... OK
* preparing 'remora':
* checking DESCRIPTION meta-information ... OK
* removing junk files
* checking for LF line-endings in source and make files
* checking for empty or unneeded directories
* building 'remora_1.0.tar.gz'

And the remora_1.0.tar.gz file seems ok.

3.* Performing the 'R CMD check remora' command I get:

remoraConfiguration is a constructor for the remoraConfiguration S4 object.


#
# Class configuration definition.

CLASS_REMORA_CONFIGURATION <- "remoraConfiguration"
class_configuration <- setClass(CLASS_REMORA_CONFIGURATION,
  representation(number_clusters = "numeric", class_name = "character",

    scale_variance="logical", s="numeric", d="numeric", alfa="numeric", eta

remoraConfiguration <- function(number_clusters, class_name,
weighting_function = FUNCTION_REMORA_EUCLIDEAN, scale_variance=TRUE, s_value

perform_sum = TRUE, verbose=FALSE) {

  result_configuration <- new(CLASS_REMORA_CONFIGURATION)
  [...]

  result_configuration
}

I'm using R version 2.8.1 (2008-12-22).

Sorry for the long email, but I don't want to miss any important
information.

Am I doing something wrong? If so, what?
How can I overcome this problem?

Thank you very much.
