Re: [R] HOW to provide a CITATION file?

2008-11-16 Thread Charles Annis, P.E.
Many thanks to Henrik and Spencer, Professor Ripley, and others.  

The trick that I had missed (found in 'Writing R Extensions') is that the
CITATION file must be located in the 'inst' subdirectory of the package
sources.

Again, my gratitude to all.

 I have placed a CITATION file in the myPackage directory along with the
 DESCRIPTION file, but it is ignored.

 Thanks for your guidance.

Re: [R] HOW to provide a CITATION file?

2008-11-15 Thread Henrik Bengtsson
Are you referring to the update that you now reach 'R: Search
Engine'(*) when you call help.start() whereas before you got to the
'Statistical Data Analysis' main menu from where 'Writing R
Extensions' is available (in HTML format)?   You can reach the latter
from the former by clicking on the up-arrow icon.  [Suggestion to
R-core: Maybe clicking on the R-logo could also bring you to the main
menu.].

/Henrik

(*) At least with R v2.8.0 and Firefox 3.0
