For example, what if the process changes and the external source doesn't get updated? That said, WRE does list two packages that register native routines from other packages: https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R-exts.html#Linking-to-native-routines-in-other-packages I'd be open to including a vignette in xts that discusses the process of linking to zoo. That would have the benefit of needing to be updated if the process changes. We can discuss off-list if you're interested in collaborating on it. > Best regards, > David > > -- > Jitao David Zhang > > http://jdzhang.me/ > m...@jdzhang.me > > Schützengasse 20 > 4125 Riehen, Switzerland > > [[alternative HTML version deleted]] > > __ > R-devel@r-project.org mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel -- Joshua Ulrich | about.me/joshuaulrich FOSS Trading | www.fosstrading.com __ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel

Re: [Rd] URL checks
The idea of 'white lists' to prevent known (and 'tolerated') issues, note, warnings, ... from needlessly reappearing is very powerful and general, and can go much further than just URL checks. I suggested several times in the past that we can look at the format Debian uses in its 'lintian' package checker and its override files -- which are used across thousands of packages there. But that went nowhere so I stopped. This issue needs a champion or two to implement a prototype as well as a potential R Core / CRAN sponsor to adopt it. But in all those years no smoke has come out of any chimneys so ... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ is all we get.

Is this a topic for Google Summer of Code?
