RE: [Rd] NEWS, WISHLIST, THANKS

2005-06-09 Thread Liaw, Andy 
Things not required to be there needs to be placed in inst/, so they will
make it into the binary package.  This is where I had to put the NEWS file
for my package, as I learned here a while ago.

 I have NEWS, WISHLIST and THANKS files in the 'dyn' package
 in the same directory as the DESCRIPTION file but I noticed that they
 did not survive the move to CRAN, at least on Windows.
 How do I incorporate them so that they are not omitted?

The R extensions manuals tells you the filenames that mean something to 
R.  (See the Package Structure section.)  All else is omitted unless 
it's in the inst directory, in which case it should be copied up a level 
upon installation.

Moving to CRAN per se has nothing to do with this. If the files have
been in the source package you submitted (they have been, including a
safety copy DESCRIPTION~ which you might want to eliminate in future
versions), they are also in the source package on CRAN.
The point is that they are not installed and hence not included in
binary packages.

Put them into the inst/ subdirectory, then they will also be installed.
