missing getPackageInfo in 0.2.0

[pelacables]

I've installed drat from CRAN but I cannot find the getPackageInfo function:

other attached packages:
[1] drat_0.2.0
[...]
> library('drat')
> getPackageInfo('/home/bria/BestPackageEver_0.1.0.tar.gz')
Error in getPackageInfo("/home/bria/BestPackageEver_0.1.0.tar.gz") :
  could not find function "getPackageInfo"
> drat::
drat::updateRepo                      drat::pruneRepoForAllRversions        drat::insertPackages
drat::initRepo                        drat::pruneRepo                       drat::addRepo
drat::insertPackage                   drat::getRepoInfo
drat::archivePackagesForAllRversions  drat::archivePackages
> drat::

am I missing anything?
Thanks

It's still there:

> drat:::getPackageInfo("drat_0.2.0.tar.gz")
   Source    Rmajor osxFolder 
   "TRUE"        NA        "" 
> 

Note the use of :::. As an internal function, it is not currently exported -- but I don't think it ever was.

Are you seeing it referenced in a tutorial or vignette or some other write up?

[pelacables]

I see. I was reading this: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/drat/drat.pdf .

Thanks, I close this ticket.

[eddelbuettel]

Right. The reference pdf is a list of all help pages. I guess I should go over them and mark the exported functions as private. Or make them private.

But we have six other vignettes :) maybe those can help with documentation too?

[pelacables]

Sure, all good from my side. Thanks.

[eddelbuettel]

I am looking at this now, and I could either make the function publically available (yet, on balance, smaller exported footprint is better), or remove the documentation (seems like a loss) or just mark it as an-unexported function in the documentation. I think I am leaning towards the latter...

[eddelbuettel]

Now done -- thanks again for the heads-up.

The documentation should be clearer now. (The pdf file will only be rebuilt on the next package release though.)

[pelacables]

Thanks a lot.
