Hi, I want to create an R package, with an Rnw file, and distribute it. However, I have restrictions on certain parts of my data, so I have a makefile which deletes the specific data upon creation of the package. However, I want my package (including the Rnw file which now references the deleted data), to pass an R CMD check. Is there a way to set up the package to not re-check that Rnw file? One way I thought of was to have the Rnw file renamed and put in as a documentation, so that it is still referencable as a documentation file, but is there a better way to flag R CMD check on what it should ignore?
