[R] checking generic/method consistency

[Arne Henningsen]

Hi,

I wrote a package for linear programming and want to submit it to CRAN. 
Since the package 'quadprog' has a function with the name 'solve.QP' to 
perform Quadratic Programming, I named my (main) function 'solve.LP'. 
However 'R CMD check' gives one warning:

* checking generic/method consistency ... WARNING
solve:
  function(a, b, ...)
solve.LP:
  function(cvec, bvec, Amat, maximum, maxiter, verbose)

while 'R CMD check' gives no warnings when the function has the name 
'solve.QP'.

What do you recommend me to do?
1) Ignore the warning and upload the package to CRAN as it is?
2) Rename the function? (any suggestions?)
3) Change something that avoids this problem without renaming the functions?

I would prefer the third point, but I don't know how.

Thank you for your answers,

Arne
