Dear R-devel, Question: How can I get Sweave to recognize that the \thebibliography section is already created and generate the vignette pdf with a single pass? Or is there a way to let R CMD build know that Sweave needs to be run twice? If (1) is not possible, any suggestions how to auto-generate a crude generic bibtex .bib file from my existing document? Background: I maintain

Dear R folks, One of the fantastic new tools in R is `Sweave'. I have tested it so much that I know it works and produces fine documentation, and with (GNU) Emacs/ESS it is nice to work with, too. I started to have a look at including some Swoven (is that a strong verb?) documentation with my R package, but it seems that there is no model to copy among those packages that I have installed in

Hello, I'm seeing three different vignette-related errors with recent versions of R-3.0.0 alpha. First, with the package BitSeq (http://bioconductor.org/packages/2.12/bioc/html/BitSeq.html), I get the following when trying to build the package: Error: processing vignette ?BitSeq.Rnw' failed with diagnostics: Failed to locate the ?weave? output file (by engine ?utils::Sweave?) for

It is stated in R-exts that Sweave files (.Rnw) are either processed in /vignettes or /inst/doc, not both. Furthermore, it is stated that external manuals and other files in /inst/doc will be installed. This behaviour has been used to deal with the situation where a package has two "vignettes", one that is easily processed and one that has a long running time. This could be done by

Hi, is it possible to have non-Sweave vignettes(*) in inst/doc/ be listed under 'Downloads' on CRAN package pages? For instance, in my R.rsp package I have a inst/doc/report.pdf (part of the source *.tar.gz) that is not detected/listed. The PDF is not based on a Sweave vignette but an *.tex.rsp vignette that is dynamically created via inst/doc/Makefile. It is listed (*) BTW, can the

[Env: Win Xp / StatET 2.0 / R 2.15.0] In my heplots package I extended the HE-examples.Rnw vignette under inst/doc. The package passes R CMD check on my machine: * using log directory 'C:/eclipse-3.7/heplots.Rcheck' * using R version 2.15.0 (2012-03-30) * using platform: i386-pc-mingw32 (32-bit) ... * checking sizes of PDF files under 'inst/doc' ... OK * checking installed files

In R 3.1.0 (~April 2014), support for vignettes in inst/doc/ will go away (and probably much sooner for CRAN submission), e.g. checking for old-style vignette sources ... NOTE Vignette sources only in ?inst/doc?: ?R.devices-overview.tex.rsp? A ?vignettes? directory is required as from R 3.1.0 and these will not be indexed nor checked I've been sticking with inst/doc/ for backward compatible

I'm finalizing development of a package that will include a vignette. Without the vignette, the package builds fine with no warnings and is ready for distribution. Now, I am following the directions for developing vignettes "Sweave, Part II: Package Vignettes" by Friedrich Leisch. I am using a windows XP machine (other session info below). Here is what I have done. 1) I add the

( A similar problem is also reported by Sebastian P. Luque with library(maptools) library(trip) in the vignette as below ). I am writing a vignette which loads RMySQL and RPostgreSQL. This produces the warning: Loading required package: DBI Warning in .simpleDuplicateClass(def, prev) : A specification for class ?dbObjectId? in package ?RPostgreSQL? seems equivalent to one from package

Context: R2.15-0 on Ubuntu. 1. I get a WARNING from CMD check for "Package vignette(s) without corresponding PDF: In this case the vignettes directory had both the pdf and Rnw; do I need to move the pdf to inst/doc?

I once knew the answer to this, but can't find where I found it. Say I have a vignette that I don't want R to automatically rebuild, perhaps it uses some data I can't share or takes too long to run or whatever. Say it is mypackage/vignettes/charlie.Rnw It can create the pdf from an R session that actually has the data, place that result in inst/doc/charlie.pdf, then run R

G'day all, In Chapter 1.4 (Writing package vignettes) the Writing R Extensions manual states: By default @code{R CMD build} will run @code{Sweave} on all Sweave vignette source files in @file{vignettes}. If @file{Makefile} is found in the vignette source directory, then @code{R CMD build} will try to run @command{make} after the @code{Sweave} runs, otherwise @code{texi2pdf} is run on

Hi, in Section 'Writing package vignettes' of 'Writing R Extensions' it says: "Whenever a Makefile is found, then R CMD build will try to run make after the Sweave runs, so PDF manuals can be created from arbitrary source formats (plain LaTeX files, ...). [...] Note that the make step is executed even if there are no files in Sweave format, [...]". In my package,

Dear R-devel list, My name is Guillermo Vinu?. I have created an R package that includes a vignette. Earlier on, to test my package, I tried to install it both in Linux and Windows and it worked. My vignette was in /inst/doc. Now, I have finished for good and before submitting my package to CRAN I've tried to install it again first in Linux and then in Windows (I removed that first

Hi, I have a problem when checking the package 'probdistr' (on probability distributions). I got this warning * checking index information ...

Dear list, I wish to use a specific driver to process an sweave document in the inst/doc directory of a package. Specifically, I would like to use either cacheSweave or pgfSweave to speed up the creation of the vignette which requires lengthy computations. The same request would also apply to the highlight driver, to provide syntax highlighting of R chunks. In "writing R extensions" I

Dear all, I am writing a vignette that requires a file which I am not allowed to distribute, but which the user can easily download manually. Moreover, it is not possible to download this file automatically from R: downloading requires a (free) registration that seems to work only through a browser.
