I know, we've discussed this several times in the good old days days
of the R-testers list :-), but the problem is still unsolved.
I want to include Tibshirani's data in my port of the bootstrap
package, but we still have no way of including data in a clean way.
IMHO we should have a subdirectory of $RHOME/data for each library,
e.g.
$RHOME/data/base
$RHOME/data/bootstrap
Actually that's the setup we are currently using here in Vienna.
We've modified the filename script to reflect that changes (which also
allows users to have a R hierarchy with library, data, etc in
~/lib/R):
*********** original filename *********** =20
#!/bin/sh
file=3D$RHOME/$1/$2
if [ -r $file ]
then
echo $file
else
echo
fi
*********** our filename *********** =20
#!/bin/sh
for file in $HOME/lib/R/$1/$2 \ # user R hierarchy
$RHOME/$1/$2 \ # standard dirs
$RHOME/$1/[^.]*/$2; # one level of subdirs
do
if [ -r $file ]
then
echo $file
break
fi
done
if [ ! -r $file ]
then
echo
fi

Any comments, ... ?
Best,
Fritz
PS: In a best of all possible worlds one should of course have some
recursive searching like in TeX :-)

Friedrich Regarding the location of data for libraries it might be easier if everything for one library is included in one subdirectory. At least it would certainly be easier to clean-up, which I like to do every few years. Thus the code file, data, and any compiled code would be in one subdirectory under $RHOME/library. I realize this means a small change to the way libraries are now found, but in the end I think it would be much cleaner.
