Dear R-devel, I've noticed that when I place a `NEWS' file in the top-level directory for a package, then do R CMD build mypkg, the file gets included in the .tar.gz file. However, if I do R CMD build --binary mypkg, the `NEWS' file does not get included in the .zip file. Is this intentional? Is there a way I can get such a file included in the pre-compiled package automatically?
