[R-pkg-devel] Problem enhancing a package with a predict method not declared to be an S3 method

Dear all,

I had realized that they were internal functions.

However, I was conjecturing that the maintainer intends for them to be employed by package users and that use of the ':::' operator might be acceptable in these circumstances. 

It appears not and I have modified my package to remove all occurrences of ':::'.

Thanks to all for your comments,

  Chris

And of course, you can even tell the Rd file that it documents an internal function.

Good day,

It seems that they are not internal functions if they are have user 
documentation written for them. Internal functions usually don't have 
a help page.

You can document internal functions, why not?
The definition whether they are internal or not is given in the 
NAMESPACE file.

Best,
Uwe Ligges
