[Roxygen-devel] [roxygen2] roxygenise, setGeneric and .svn directory

[Renaud Gaujoux]

Hi,

I am using (I would like to use) roxygen2 to document a package from 
scratch.

- If I run twice in a row roxygenise, I get error(s) about undefined 
definition for S4 generic functions.
I guess it is an issue of where the generic are looked for.
I always define generic as follows:

if ( !isGeneric("myfun") ) setGeneric('myfun', function(x, annotation, 
...) standardGeneric('myfun'))

as I thought this was the portable way of defining generics. If I remove 
the test for the existence of the generic there are no more errors. Is 
this test actually not required or even not recommend?

- I get lots of warnings linked to permission issues in the .svn 
subdirectories that are copied with the package root directory, e.g.:

In file.create(to[okay]) :
   cannot create file '../testroxy/.svn/text-base/NAMESPACE.svn-base', 
reason 'Permission denied'

I like the fact the .svn directory are actually copied, as it allows me 
to check for modifications made by roxygenise on the Rd, NAMESPACE or 
DESCRIPTION files. Any way to avoid these warnings?

Thank you.

Renaud
