[Rd] R CMD build processes inst/doc/Makefile only if there are vignette files?

2011-03-30 Thread Henrik Bengtsson
Hi, in Section 'Writing package vignettes' of 'Writing R Extensions' it says: Whenever a Makefile is found, then R CMD build will try to run make after the Sweave runs, so PDF manuals can be created from arbitrary source formats (plain LaTeX files, ...). [...] Note that the make step is executed

[Rd] R CMD build now removes empty dirs

2011-03-30 Thread Pages, Herve
Hi, It's unfortunate that with recent revisions of R 2.13 (this appeared in revision 54640, March 2), 'R CMD build' now removes empty dirs in the package. People might have good reasons for having empty dirs in their packages. For example, in Bioconductor, we have some tools to automatically

2011-03-30 Thread Prof Brian Ripley
What R CMD build (and check) does is to call tools::buildVignettes. That has been true for a while, and buildVignettes() returns if no vignettes are found. The docs are out-of-date. My view is that you are misusing inst/doc: it is intended *only* for files which are going to be installed and

Bill, thanks. I like that idea of the output parameter better, especially if we ever add different scalar vector types. Admittedly, what=integer() is the most useful case. What I was worried about is things like what=double(), output=integer() which could be legal, but are more conveniently

I am also in favor for keeping the ability of installing directory structures that are partly empty. I've used it before to setup templates that can conveniently be copied recursively to a local path. I did noticed that R CMD INSTALL gave a warning about empty directories before (or was it a
