Hi, If the images are also used for vignettes or Rd files, you can put them in the 'vignettes' or 'man/figures' directories. Otherwise, please put them in the top-level 'tools' directory, or a subdirectory of it.

Hi, I'm not sure what to do with README.Rmd; I followed Hadley's instructions* at http://r-pkgs.had.co.nz/release.html but I'm getting a Warning from CRAN (missing figure files). Writing R Extensions does not seem to mention this particular way of generating a README.md file (and in fact, mildly discourages README.md, see https://cran.r-project.org/ doc/manuals/r-release/R-exts.html#FOOT2). Here's what I've done: - top level README.Rmd file with knitr option fig.path = "README-" - ^README\.Rmd$ and ^README-.*\.png$ added in .Rbuildignore as a result, R CMD build creates README.md, and removes the associated figures and Rmd source file. However CRAN issues a Warning that the png files are missing. So my next step has been to remove ^README-.*\.png$ from .Rbuildignore, but that yields a NOTE: "Non-standard files/directories found at top level: ...<pngs>" I thought perhaps this should go in .Rinstignore, but that yields the same NOTE. What is the proper way to deal with these image files? (pointing fig.path to inst/ doesn't seem like an option either, as it will break the paths). Has there been a recent change in how README.Rmd files are processed? (I did not find this step documented in WRE). I looked at a few packages and they seem to follow the model recommended in Hadley's r-pkgs resource, so presumably it used to work without warnings. Thanks, baptiste *: I realise this is not an official documentation; however, from a pragmatic point of view, it would seem mutually beneficial if recommendations could somehow be kept in sync between this document and official CRAN policies.
