R help - Jun 2010 - How to add example data to R package

Dear R Users,

    I want to add an data in raw type to my package, so it can not be
loading by data(), and if I put it in the 'data' subdirectory, it will
be
missed after the package built.

    How to put a raw  data into a package?

    Any suggestions will be appreciated.

No, it should stay there, but you have to say

ZipData: no

in your DESCRIPTION file in order to avoid it being zipped up when the 
binary package is built.

If you want to put it somewhere else, use the ./inst directory of the 
source package. For more details see the manual "Writing R
Extensions".
