[Rd] ~ files not excluded from build (PR#3071)
My docs say files ending in ~ are excluded by default from R CMD build. Doesn't look that way to me. I got them with 1.6.2 and 1.7.0. My documenation is 1.6.0 (that is, the one saying *~ is excluded). I have no .Rbuildignore of my own.

Again, hard to track down without more information on your compyting platform and reproducible examples. The feature works for me using 1.7.0 on debian linux, i.e., files ending in ~ are excluded (without a .Rbuildignore file). fritz leisch

Somewhere the documentation says that a tar newer than 1.13 is needed. This is available with versions of Linux, but is a bit of a problem on other systems since the latest version on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/tar/ is 1.13. Paul Gilbert
