I use
R CMD Rdindex man/*.Rd >INDEX
in my makefile to generate an INDEX. When I then use
R CMD build whatever
the newindex seems to be in a slightly different order, resulting in a
* checking whether index is up-to-date ... NO
(because the result of diff is not empty) and a suggestion to use
--force.
However, --force results in the INDEX in my source directory being
re-written, which means that I can't use it as a dependency for
installing because it is always out of date after I build. But if I
don't use INDEX as a dependency then my own help system may not be
up-to-date, which will be a problem when I'm working on documentation.
However, if I don't use --force I will always get warnings which I will
tend to ignore, so I won't notice more serious warnings. Is there some
way to guaranty the same order from these two ways for generating INDEX?

(P.S. - I'm not an expert at makefiles but if anyone is interested I am
willing to share a fairly good makefile which I use for maintaining two
packages and two bundles with several packages in them.)

That's the only problem I have seen. (On Solaris en_UK sorts AaBb... not AB..ab....) -- Brian D.

It is more likely that your shell is not using the locale sort. I'd set LANG=C LC_ALL=C via your Makefile, script, whatever. I got tired of this and set all my machines back to C, but you may not have that choice. Brian -- Brian D.
