When building packages these days I keep getting warnings from "R CMD build" to the effect that INDEX is not up to date. The INDEXes always seem to be up do to date to *me*.
Then I thought to compare the INDEX from the package source with the INDEX in the installed package (after building with the --force flag set). Doing a diff on the old INDEX (saved outside the source package directory so that --force didn't obliterate it) and the new INDEX in the installed package directory, I got: > 7c7 > < in terms of the NCEA gpa. > --- > > in terms of the NCEA > 19c19 > < number of successes ("old" and "new"). > --- > > number of successes > 32,33c32 > < doing calculations pertaining to the analysis > < of data sets in the Starpath project. > --- > > doing calculations Notice that the lines in the ``new'' INDEX are truncated versions of those in the ``old'' INDEX. This is not as it should be, nicht wahr? Can it be fixed? Can *I* do anything to fix it? I am 99.99% confident that things weren't this way in the past --- and that in fact the ``old'' INDEX was built using the Rdindex() function. cheers, Rolf Turner P.
