Hi,
I have a package that I'd like to submit to CRAN that does Sweave-like
processing on Open Document format files from Open Office.
If I remember correctly, there is a machine that automatically R CMD
checks CRAN packages. I have two questions about how that system is set
up:
1. Is the bitmap device available? The example produces a file using
this device and I'd like it to pass R CMD check on your system (as it
does on my machines).
2. Are there any restrictions on the Latex packages called in the
vignette? This is not a big deal, but it would be good to know how much
flexibility I have in producing that document.
Thanks,
Max

Others may have better ideas but if you have a problem getting your vignette to pass R CMD check then you could process it yourself using Sweave to create a .tex file and then have a mypkg.Rnw file that just contains the SweaveOpt, %Vignette statements and an \input statement to input the .tex file that you generated yourself. That way you can generate it in a known environment.

Yes, at leats for the main check machine (running Debian Linux). I cannot speak for the Windows and MacOS checks, but I don't see why ghostscript shouldn't be available there, too. > 2.

We do not run latex on the vignette (this *is* documented), only the R code is checked. The reason is exactly your question: Latex is to heterogenous to assume we have all packages the author of a vignette has, and we do not want to limit the typesetting.
