Hi,
I am trying to upload a package to CRAN but keep getting the error message
below. The issue seems to be the use of attach in one of my routines. As I
explain in the cran-comments.md this use of assign is intentional.
The routine paste.data is used by undergraduate student with very little R
knowledge to transfer data from moodle quizzes into R. They can simply copy
the data in moodle, switch to R and run paste.data(). The data is assigned to
the global environment under the name moodledata and can be used to find the
solution to the moodle quiz. I have been using this routine with my students
for several years without any problems.
What do I need to do to get passed this automatic check?
Thanks,
Wolfgang
