[Rd] R CMD check message: "The following files should probably not be installed"
Sorry. This, and the description in the ?Writing R Extensions? manual, leaves me completely mystified. Is it that I have to remove the PDFs that are created when I run ?R CMD build?, and somehow ensure that they are rebuilt when the package is installed? Do I need a Makefile?

Consider the use of a .Rinstignore file: see ?Writing R Extensions?, or move the vignette sources from ?inst/doc? to ?vignettes?. The vignette sources were in ?vignettes? when DAAGviz_1.0.3.tar.gz was created. There was nothing in the ?inst/doc? directory. If I have in my .Rinstignore file inst/doc/.*[.]pdf That filters out more than the files warned about. I guess you meant inst/doc/figs.*[.]pdf But the question has to be: how did the files get copied into inst/doc? Maybe 'When R CMD build builds the vignettes, it copies these and the vignette sources from directory vignettes to inst/doc. To install any other files from the vignettes directory, include a file vignettes/.install_extras which specifies these as Perl-like regular expressions on one or more lines. (See the description of the .Rinstignore file for full details.)' suggests how? then I get: <<< * checking package vignettes in ?inst/doc? ... WARNING Package vignettes without corresponding PDF/HTML: . . . What am I missing? Can I ignore the "The following files should probably not be installed? message? Not if you want to submit the package to CRAN.
