[Rd] format: different S4 behavior in a package

R-Devel-ers: I have an S4 method that simply formats an object: setGeneric("formatMe", function(x) standardGeneric("formatMe")) setMethod("formatMe", "ANY", function(x) format(x)) If I issue the above in an R session, then define an S4 class with its own format method, I get the desired result:

Re: [Rd] format: different S4 behavior in a package

There is not a single definition of formatMe() in your message, therefore nothing works for me, not even the very first version... Best, Uwe Ligges On 23.06.2010 09:16, Daniel Murphy wrote: R-Devel-ers: I have an S4 method that simply formats an object: setGeneric("formatMe", function(x) s

[Rd] seek() and gzfile() on 32-bit R2.12.0 in linux

Peter, thanks for your comments. The reason I have taken this issue to R-devel is from the advice of Kurt Hornik. An update to my package oro.nifti is being refused by CRAN because it fails on the _development_ version of R on 32-bit linux. As we have just discussed (and thanks to Matt's input),
