Hi guys,
This probably isn't news, but when a package is given an autogenerated
namespace, its .First.lib, if any, is no longer called.
Please do read the NEWS file: .First.lib *is* called as either .onLoad
or .onAttach.
This causes problems, e.g., when a package is loading a dynamic
library. Probably no good solution here. The initialization routines
could be made to call .First.lib, code could be rewritten on the
fly, a useDynlib() could be added for a package that has one, etc.
Nothing too appealing.
But actually it works well enough in 97% of the cases on CRAN.
Thanks,
Michael
