Those symbols should not be exported. In quantreg v5.33, NAMESPACE has 'exportPattern(".")'. Maybe it is a good time to remove that and export explicitly the symbols that are meant for export.

I?m trying to sort out the consequences of adding registration for my quantreg package.
I?ve generated a quantreg_init.c file with the directive in the message title, and placed it
in my src directory.  The first issue is that 3 of the 20, or so registered functions have
the same name in fortran as the calling function in R.   This seems easy to fix.  More
puzzling is that R CMD check now reports that the fortran names of all the registered fortran
functions are ?undocumented objects?.  Can someone point me to the officially sanctioned
way to deal with this:  presumably I don?t need to document them as if they were R functions.

Thanks,  I was just coming to that conclusion and beginning to look for a way to make a list of
exportable objects.

After library(quantreg), ls("package:quantreg") will list all the names 
you currently export.  So

cat(ls("package:quantreg"), sep = ", ")

will print the list in a form suitable for including in the export() 
directive in your NAMESPACE file.  Just delete the names that are meant 
for internal use only.

Thanks Georgi and Duncan, exports are now specified explicitly  and the  new package
is now on CRAN.
