1. The above message from 2007 was about the possibility of fixing the fact that attributes on top level environments are stripped if LazyLoad: yes in a package's DESCRIPTION file. (They are not stripped if LazyLoad: false so that case works as expected -- its only the LazyLoad: true case that has this behavior.) Can this be finally fixed? 2. There was an R News article at the time that mentioned an undocumented 25K code size threshold that determined whether LazyLoad was turned on or off in those cases where LazyLoad was not specified in the DESCRIPTION file. Is that still the case? If not then what is the default? Its not mentioned in the R-ext manual. -- Statistics & Software Consulting GKX Group, GKX Associates Inc. tel: 1-877-GKX-GROUP email: ggrothendieck at gmail.com ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
