In fact my first vignette full stop.
I am intending to use Sweave. I have read the Sweave documentation and
section 1.4 of the extensions manual and apart from (a) do not use split
= TRUE (b) and include all the source components, there does not seem to
be anything CRAN specific.
1 - Am I missing some other documentation?
There is no such thing as a 'CRAN vignette'. These days all
(non-internal-to-CRAN) CRAN-specific documentation is in the CRAN policies.
2 - If I use a package from CTAN would that be considered within the
spirit if not the letter of open source? I am not asking for trained
legal advice here, it is the spirit of the rules.
Provided it is available to people to reproduce things if the package
uses a FOSS licence.
3 - I assume including the .bbl file would be fine rather than making a
separate .bib file?
No. We have seen .bbl files which no longer worked after a TeXLive
update, and with a FOSS licence you need to supply the sources (and
normally the .bib file is the source).
I am not envisaging doing anything complex: text, formulae, some tables
and one figure plus a few references.
