Dear friends - I'm slowly learning to make packages in RStudio and it seems impressive. I managed now to have my acidbase package pass the check-package test with this result

Consider adding
importFrom("stats", "uniroot")
to your NAMESPACE file.
0 errors v | 0 warnings v | 1 note x
R CMD check succeeded
So I have much use of uniroot in the package but get this "note" above and a
suggestion to augment the NAMESPACE file - so even though it was issuing : #
Generated by roxygen2: do not edit by hand
I of course tried adding by hand - and in the next run the NAMESPACE file
was quite empty and without any exports and the added import while before it
exported a number of functions. So I deleted this unwelcome NAMESPACE and
got the old one back.
I also tried adding importFrom("stats", "uniroot") as #'
@importFrom("stats", "uniroot") to the r file with the routine using uniroot
but that didn't change the NAMESPACE or remove the note when checking. It
may be no big problem - but I'd like to see no notes or warnings
The syntax is "@importFrom stats uniroot". See roxygen2's docs: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/roxygen2/vignettes/namespace.html#imports If you don't use this function many many times, it is even better to use stats::uniroot instead. I?aki
