R help - Apr 2009 - The .tex version of the manual in foo.Rcheck

In version 2.8.1, running Rcmd check on the package foo would leave the file
foo-manual.tex in the folder foo.Rcheck.

But as of 2.9.0 only foo-manual.pdf and foo-manual.log are there.

Is this intentional?
Anyway it is inconvenient, because I would occasionally like to include the
manual at the end of a set of exercises, and this was a convenient file to
\input with a few select %'s added.

Bendix

I do not know whether it is intentional, but it seems that parts
of `check' were substantially re-written due to the new Rd parser.  As
far as I can understand the Perl code, the .tex file is only copied to
the .Rcheck directory if an error occurs while the file is processed.

But this can easily be changed by moving two lines in the script a bit
higher, see the attached patch.  

Cheers,

	Berwin

Bendix,

you can also take a source package an run

R CMD Rd2dvi --no-clean packageName

on it and you will get a temporary directory with the TeX sources in it.


Best wishes,
Uwe
