Dear Lionel, Hugh and Dirk,
Many, many thanks for your input. I will definitively study the different
proposals and will check on the different implementations and ideas to
evaluate what is the most convenient. And will do a crash course on
environments and learn something new.
At first sight the
Nathan,
no action is needed on your end since it's not your fault. It was good of you
to have the test there because it unearthed the issue. I have re-run the test
with hot-fixed rstan and it passes the check so you're good as far as I'm
concerned. As you say, since it's not a strong dependen
Agreed. I have used `.pkgenv` in a few packages (digest, rpushbullet, ...),

```
the <- new.env(parent = emptyenv())
```
Dear all,
I am writing a package that needs to load some data from a URL and have
such data (meta data) available when using other functions in the package,
and I would like some advice on how to properly manage such situation.
My first guess would be to create a function to downloads that meta
Thanks everyone for your help with this.TBH the technical nature is more than a
little above my head.What are you advising as the current solution to enable me
to resubmit the package to CRAN?BCEA doesn't have a strong dependency on rstan
so I could remove it as a simple solution?Thanks again fo
