update of a function

Hi, I could finally create an R package. I was suprised to notice that 
when I want to update a function, even if it is updated in 
package_name/R/function.R and after build but it is not updated when the 
package is loaded. I see that the tar.gz file is updated but when I load 
the package, I get the old version. The only solution that I found was 
to update in R session and rerun package.skeleton, build etc. Why the 
update doesn't work directly in R folder?

Perhaps this is relevant?


?library

       ...

 	(Furthermore, if the package has a name
      	space and a name space of that name is already loaded, they work
      	from the existing name space rather than reloading from the file
      	system.  If you want to reload a package, call .detach. or
      	.unloadNamespace. first.)


HTH,

Chuck

Cheers,

Carol
