Why do you think dependencies are not needed for the help system? At
some point they will be needed to resolve cross-references: at install
time if you are generating static HTML.
I've not seen any issues that cannot be solved by --install=fake: I
have fake installs of a few packages (e.g. ROr

Yes, that can be a very appropriate approach and many tools help. Make sure
you read the 'Writing R Extensions' manual though.

Dear Duncan,
What constitutes a convincing argument for making significant changes?
Taking the example of optimization algorithms (say, for smooth objective
functions), how does one make a convincing argument that a particular class
of algorithms are "better" than another class? This can be a dif

Dear Doug,
Thank you for the response.
"constrOptim is in the stats package, not the base package."
Yes, I know, and I meant to say base *distribution* rather than base
package.

I don't think there's any answer to that other than "an argument that
convinces someone to make the changes". What would convince you to work

Ok. I understand it now.

At one time I lobbied for putting something in base or a required package, and
it was suggested that the idea at the time was to remove things rather than add
them. Generally, I agree that is a good idea, so I did not lobby more.
When this question comes up it is always asked, and answered, in

Please let me know whether or not you will comply with my request to remove
