i am trying to build an R package and submit to CRAN. i am using - package.skeleton(name="xxzz", code_files = "H:\xxzz.R") to build package xxzz. --------------------------- The code above generates 'xxzz' folder. It seems that I have to manually edit the files generated in xxzz folder (to add titles, authors, etc) -------------------------- But when I re-run - package.skeleton(name="xxzz", code_files = "H:\xxzz.R") All the edited information will be lost since the default files are regenerated such as DESCRIPTION file. --------------------------- I have found the process of building package is extremely troublesome. Have anybody had a better approach? Thanks. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/problem-in-building-an-R-package-tp26506174p26506174.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

You can add separate files now and add documentation via prompt().
