Hi Martin, Thank you so much for your helpful advice. It looks like that this is the cause for all these warning messages. I've modified NAMESPACE such that it now only imports relevant classes and methods from flowCore. When running check again, all the warning messages are gone! Looking forward to a "green" check column shown on tomorrow's daily report :-) Cheers, Kenneth On 17-Apr-08, at 11:40 AM, Martin Morgan wrote: > Hi Kenneth -- > > This is perhaps a small issue in R, and a solution is actively under > investigation > > Probably the warning is spurious, but the thing that is triggering > it is when a generic is defined in several different packages that > your package imports.
