Could we introduce a library hierarchy in the `data' directory? The standard stuff would then go into `data/base', and if add-ons have their own data (examples!), these would go into a corresponding subdir of `data'. Only three small changes would be necessary: 1. In `data', create a `base' subdir and move all data files there. 2. Replace `cmd/filename' by the version below: ********************************************************************* #!/bin/sh for file in $HOME/lib/R/$1/$2 \ $RHOME/$1/$2 \ $RHOME/$1/[^.]*/$2; do if [ -r $file ] then echo $file break fi done if [ ! -r $file ] then echo fi ********************************************************************* 3. In src/library/LIBSETUP.in, add ********************************************************************* if test -d ${lib}/data then mkdir -p ../../data/${lib} cp ${lib}/data/* ../../data/${lib} fi ********************************************************************* before the final `done'. We've been using the above filename script for a very long time now, without any problems ...
