Hi, I came across the following warning in R CMD check (it only occurred on Windows): The \usage entries for S3 methods should use the \method markup and not
their full name. See the chapter 'Writing R documentation files' in manual 'Writing R Extensions'.
The package I'm looking at is one that I did not write which has 34 .Rd files. This warning does not tell me which file to look in. It would be very helpful if it did. Same goes for other warnings/errors produced by R CMD check.
I was unable to duplicate this. ?When I tried it by messing up one of the
man pages in the ellipse package, I got this:
S3 methods shown with full name in documentation object 'ellipse.glm':
?ellipse.glm
The \usage entries for S3 methods should use the \method markup and not
their full name.
See the chapter 'Writing R documentation files' in manual 'Writing R
Extensions'.
"Documentation object 'ellipse.glm'" tells me the \name{} inside the .Rd
file, which is enough to uniquely identify the file. ?Are you not seeing
this part of the message?
No, I'm not. I still can't identify the offending file, but you can download the whole package: svn --username readonly --password readonly export https://hedgehog.fhcrc.org/bioconductor/trunk/madman/Rpacks/affyILM/ Then run R CMD check on this package. You may need to install dependencies. Thanks Dan
