Dear List,

I have a problem related to R package creation.

I extended the 'show' method to cover a new class
with the following lines in the zzz.R file in the R directory while creating
an R package.

>setClass("rpa", contains="list")
>show.rpa <- function (...) {cat("rpa object \n")}

The corresponding lines were also added to NAMESPACE file:

>importMethodsFrom(methods,show)
>exportClasses(rpa)
>S3method(show,rpa)

The CMD check and CMD build do not produce warning messages related to this
issue (only warnings are about missing .Rd files).

After installing the package ('test' is the package name) I start R and
require the new package:

> require(test)
Loading required package: test
Warning message:
found an S4 version of 'show' so it has not been imported correctly


So it seems that the show method is S4 version although in the package
definition it is an S3 version. I would prefer not defining an S4 version
for show at this point, the main goal at the moment is simply to get the
package working and S3 seems to provide a quick-and-dirty way for this.

Any solutions / workarounds would be appreciated.

thanks in advance
Leo
