Hi R-devels, would it be possible to enhance either promptPackage() or the default indexing mechanism for packages so that -- if it exists -- (the contents of) file <pkgname>-package.Rd is sorted first in * the .dvi / .pdf documentation file * the .chm documentation file * the package 00index.html documentation file ? So far I found the followi...

...have to update the information in multiple places. I'm thinking here that I could provide a template file "<pkgname>-package.Rd.in" and during build, the DCF information could be substituted appropriately and "<pkgname>-package.Rd" would be output. see also: promptPackage method ---------------------------------------------------------- SIGSIG -- signature too long (core dumped)

Dear List, In building a package on a Mac, all the steps performed (build, check, install) seem to be working fine (no warning messages or errors). The manual for the package is created and everything looks good except for the fact that the header of the document is not showing the info on the DESCRIPTION file. It shows "R Documentation" and the path "Users/name/..etc". Is

When I use package?<pac> the author field gets reproduced twice, once with the \author{ } string and a secod time formatted. Also, would it be possible to make package?<pac> find the overview without the package being attached, or at least give a more informative error message. Paul Gilbert

...?????? ~~ } The file has been corrupted unevitably: these ?s are all actual 3F characters, not that I just open the file in incorrect encoding. Upon discussion with Dirk Eddelbuettel and Douglas Bates and further investigation, it appears that the problem is in package.skeleton() function, not in promptPackage() function neither in R-ru.po (Russian translations for R) file. This is the problematic code: package.skeleton <- ... { ... ## we need to test in the C locale curLocale <- Sys.getlocale("LC_CTYPE") on.exit(Sys.setlocale("LC_CTYPE", curLocale), add =...

Hey all, I'm currently trying to build an R package and don't really know what to make of the error message I'm getting. I couldn't find anything helpful online so hopefully somebody here can give me a couple of pointers. I see the following when I try to build: s$ R CMD build --verbose r_package_files/ Warning: unknown option '--verbose' * checking for file

CRAN et al., I would like to add an extented introduction or other arbitrary sections to my package lmomco. I have been shipping inst/doc/Introduction.Rd. I would like to have this content inserted to the front of the PDF build for the CRAN. The R-exts.pdf seems to be a little silent on this subject? For my purposes, I have been doing this R CMD Rd2dvi --pdf

Dear R developers, if one uses package.skeleton() to create a new package, then a file anRpackage.Rd with the following entries is prepared: \name{anRpackage-package} \alias{anRpackage-package} \alias{anRpackage} \docType{package} Packages created this way have a definite entry or overview page, so: ?anRpackage gives new users of a certain package a pointer where to start reading. This is

Hi, I would like to suggest a standard where all packages provide an Rd page with the same name (or aliased) as the name of package so that help(<package name>) or ?<package name> is always here. This especially of interest to large packages with a large package index. This page could explain the package in general and gives some hints on how to start - not like extensive
