I am doing [R version 3.1.2 (2014-10-31) -- "Pumpkin Helmet”; Platform:

R CMD build DAAGviz
R CMD check DAAGviz_1.0.3.tar.gz

Without a .Rinstignore file, I get:

<<<
The following files should probably not be installed:
   ‘figs10.pdf’, ‘figs11.pdf’, ‘figs12.pdf’, ‘figs13.pdf’, ‘figs14.pdf’,
   ‘figs5.pdf’, ‘figs6.pdf’, ‘figs9.pdf’

Consider the use of a .Rinstignore file: see ‘Writing R Extensions’,
or move the vignette sources from ‘inst/doc’ to ‘vignettes’.


The vignette sources were in ‘vignettes’ when DAAGviz_1.0.3.tar.gz was created. 
 There was nothing in the ‘inst/doc’ directory.

If I have in my .Rinstignore file

   inst/doc/.*[.]pdf

That filters out more than the files warned about.  I guess you meant

inst/doc/figs.*[.]pdf

But the question has to be: how did the files get copied into inst/doc? Maybe

'When R CMD build builds the vignettes, it copies these and the vignette sources from directory vignettes to inst/doc. To install any other files from the vignettes directory, include a file vignettes/.install_extras which specifies these as Perl-like regular expressions on one or more lines. (See the description of the .Rinstignore file for full details.)'

suggests how?

then I get:

<<<
* checking package vignettes in ‘inst/doc’ ... WARNING
Package vignettes without corresponding PDF/HTML:
. . .


What am I missing?  Can I ignore the "The following files should probably not 
be installed” message?

Not if you want to submit the package to CRAN.
