R CMD build does not seems to complain about an alias for the same object in two different .Rd files. Should that be allowed? I don't see when it would be legitimate. (And I didn't intend to do this and would have expected for a warning.)
If you mean in the same package, just installing will object. (As with survreg.old in survival5, Thomas.)
Ok, thanks. I was just revising documentation and running R CMD build, not re-installing. I see now that install gives a warning.
Before the final build, we expect you to have 1) INSTALL-ed successfully 2) run R CMD check 3) run Rd2dvi on the man directory and I guess this should be in the R-exts manual.
If in different packages, no ban!
Is this considered a problem or are there situations were it really makes sense (other than to perpetuate the problem of name space conflicts)?
Well, once upon a time package ts had enhanced versions of some of the functions in base, with enhanced docs too, and on S MASS has enhanced versions of functions in base and survival5, with enhanced docs.
