Dear Uwe Ligges,
after submitting our package to CRAN we are getting the following NOTE:
===
* checking S3 generic/method consistency ... NOTE
Found the following apparent S3 methods exported but not registered:
points.within
See section 'Registering S3 methods' in the 'Writing R Extensions'
manual.
===
"points.within" is not a S3 method. It is a function defined in the
package.
The package is already widely used in the scientific community.
Therefore renaming the function is not an option as it would cause a lot
of problems to the users.
But I saw that there are several packages available on CRAN that contain
NOTES reporting the same issue. For example:
https://www.r-project.org/nosvn/R.check/r-devel-linux-x86_64-debian-clang/pROC-00check.html
Do you have an advice on how I can address this problem? Would it be
possible to still proceed with the submission as we are not getting
errors nor warnings?
Kind regards,
Carmen
Thanks, we see:
* checking top-level files ... NOTE
Non-standard file/directory found at top level:
'aclocal.m4'
* checking S3 generic/method consistency ... NOTE
Found the following apparent S3 methods exported but not registered:
points.within
See section 'Registering S3 methods' in the 'Writing R Extensions'
manual.
* checking Rd \usage sections ... NOTE
S3 methods shown with full name in documentation object 'points.within':
'points.within'
The \usage entries for S3 methods should use the \method markup and not
their full name.
See chapter 'Writing R documentation files' in the 'Writing R
Extensions' manual.
Is there some reference about the method you can add in the
Description field in the form Authors (year) <doi:.....>?
Please fix and resubmit.
Best,
Uwe Ligges
