Bundle internal dependencies

Iago

What you are trying to do should work, but there are a couple of things 
to watch out for. In the bundle DESCRIPTION "Contains" line be sure to 
put the packages in the order that they should be checked.  In the R 
code for package B be sure to put an .onload function with 
requires("A"), or else require("A") explicitly for anything that needs 
it.  As I recall, this is not necessary for packages, if the package 
DESCRIPTION has Depends: A, but with bundles R CMD check does not work 
unless you explicitly do requires("A") in the code. It may also be 
necessary to specify the package in the data() function - I always do.

I think that is all, but is has been awhile since I worked this out, so 
I may have forgotten something.

Dear all,

When creating a bundle with some internal dependencies (package B in
bundle depends on package A), would having the same version installed
suffice? Can I ignore the dependencie in package B's description? The
test of package B fails when calling data() for an object in pacakge A,
so I am not sure right now whether the whole dependencie is not being
met or simple relates to data(). What is the best way of dealing with
this structure?

Many thanks,


Iago Mosqueira
