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 reasons so that I can use a "fallback" inst/doc/Makefile for building *non*-Sweave vignettes also under R 2.15.x. AFAIK, it is not possible to put a Makefile under vignettes/, i.e. it is not possible to build non-Sweave vignette under vignettes/. For backward compatible reason, I'd like to keep distributing my packages on CRAN with non-Sweave vignettes available for R (>= 2.15.0), not just R (>= 3.0.0). Does anyone know an alternative approach? /Henrik ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
