I'm not sure if that's correct -- from what I see, in the generated Rd documentation: - The 'usage' is drawn from the S4 generic, - The 'arguments' are drawn from the function. I think R CMD check is correctly warning about that. On Fri, Jul 31, 2015 at 2:56 PM, Hadley Wickham wrote: >>> It see

Re: [R-pkg-devel] new maintainer sought for maps packages

2015-07-31 Thread Alex Deckmyn
Jon, Identification using ISO codes is a good idea, although I think the old naming scheme shouldn't be broken. But adding functionalities to "map" will always have to be done in a way that keeps backward compatbility, so I'll have to think about a good way to do this. Alex --- Dr. Alex D

Please do make the new code available for testing. Those of us developing packages that import 'maps' would love the chance to test our code against the new version of the package. On Fri, Jul 31, 2015 at 11:59 AM, Alex Deckmyn wrote: > Martin, > > The old data set will certainly stay for a whil

Martin, The old data set will certainly stay for a while (or indeed indefinitely, why not). To make the transition as smooth as possible (I am aware that "maps" is used in more places than I can ever check myself) I am including the possibility of switching back to "legacy" mode using an envir

2015-07-31 Thread Jonathan Callahan
Alex, Thank you for addressing the #1 issue with the 'maps' package. I have several clients and colleagues that I have pushed to use R for mapping but it's always embarrassing to say they have to either 1: accept Soviet Union era borders or 2: embrace the complexity of the 'sp' package. Updating

First of all, I would like to thank Ray for his many years of taking care of maps, mapdata and mapproj, and for his confidence in my taking over. I hope to keep the packages running smoothly. I think R-sig-Geo is the best place to discuss future developments and will be posting there soon. As

It seems arguable that this is actually a roxygen bug - the function that's actually exported from the package does not have a type argument. Hadley On Fri, Jul 31, 2015 at 12:53 AM, Kevin Ushey wrote: > I've posted an MRE at https://github.com/klutometis/roxygen/issues/362. > > The issue occurs

I have been somewhat surprised by the number of positive responses to my message. I have found a candidate for the position of maintainer of the maps, mapdata and mapproj packages. I have confidence that Alex Deckmyn will do at least as good a job as I have done in this regard. The current
