[Bioc-devel] Conflicting Imports in Namespace

Hi,

I have a package which imports the two functions ggdendro::segment and
DNAcopy::segment. This leads to a warning message when checking the package:

Warning: replacing previous import ?DNAcopy::segment? by
?ggdendro::segment? when loading ?AneuFinder?

How can I avoid this warning and properly import the two functions to pass
R CMD check? I use the two segment functions in different functions of my
package.

Import: both packages in the DESCRIPTION. Don't mention (explicitly or 
implicitly, e.g., by import()ing both packages) 'segment' twice in the 
NAMESPACE. Resolve symbols as you do above in the code.

You may also find this useful if you only need to use one of the two.

To import every symbol from a package but for a few exceptions, pass the 
|except| argument to |import|. The directive

import(foo, except=c(bar, baz))
