[Bioc-devel] Imports, depends and warnings
I think the only unavoidable case is when the package you import 'does it wrong'. If that's not the case, then please provide an (easy-to-reproduce -- start with a simple package.skeleton() and add a couple of Imports: and import() statements, rather than providing your current package). Martin

Hi Bioconductors, I'm on a good way to finalize the pcaExplorer package I presented at the recent Bioc Developers Meeting. Trying to keep check and BiocCheck always in the background of my head, as well as trying to be a good 'package neighbour', I am dealing with the issue of some "Warning: replacing previous import by..." messages, when building/loading/checking. From my understanding, there might be some cases where this can not be fixed, probably because an imported package in turn imports itself another one entirely, making my own import redundant (e.g., ggplot2 for plotting and NMF for aheatmap give this part: Warnung: replacing previous import by ?ggplot2::unit? when loading ?NMF? Warnung: replacing previous import by ?ggplot2::arrow? when loading ?NMF? This happens even if I specifically just use importFrom in the NAMESPACE. I'm kind of puzzled on this, so I thought I'd better ask out for some expert advice on the ML. If required, I could put the package in a GitHub repository. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide! Federico -- Federico Marini, M.Sc.
