Hi, I have been building R packages for awhile on Windows, and I recently upgraded R and all required package creation tools to 2.13.0. I understand that there have been changes in that the R CMD build command no longer alters the source directory, cf comments in http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/e13/help/11/04/10379.html For example, if I issue the command Rcmd build FOO, then directory FOO is not altered in contrast to earlier R versions where vignette pdfs would be added to the source directory FOO.
I have no problem creating the FOO.tar.gz file, and it has the vignette pdfs in the inst/doc as usual. The problem is the .zip file that I create for Windows users. In earlier versions of R, this .zip file had the newly created vignette pdfs but now it does not. Here is what I see: source FOO: inst/doc foo.Rnw FOO.tar.gz (after Rcmd build FOO) inst/doc foo.pdf foo.Rnw FOO.zip (after Rcmd build --binary FOO or R CMD install --build FOO) inst/doc foo.Rnw Yes, I can manually move the pdf files from the tar.gz directory to the zip directory, but there are many and I am liable to make mistakes. I suppose I could unzip the tar.gz file and then make a temporary source file FOOtmp and run Rcmd build --binary FOOtmp, but I am hoping there is an easier way. Things I have tried unsuccessful I tried using the tar.gz file as the source Rcmd build --binary FOO.tar.gz (got error) R CMD install --build FOO.tar.gz (same error) I tried using some of the options for R CMD install: --force-multiarch and --merge-multiarch. No change. Any ideas? Thanks! ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
