Thanks for your prompt answer Mr. Ripley. It appears the version of tar I'm
using is exactly the same as the one included in the latest Rtools. I noticed
that the Rtools/bin directory was not first in path, so I corrected this.
However, I'm still not able to create a tar.gz file with the R CMD build
command. Then my question would be the following. If I submit my package to
CRAN do you know if it needs to be tar.gz or will a tar file be accepted?
Looks like "Duncan Murdoch" is now considered to be an alias for "Mr.
Ripley".
Anyway, we do not accept .tar files on CRAN.
Please fix your setup and submit a tar.gz as generated from R CMD build.
Thanks,
Uwe Ligges
Thanks again
Ian

Dear all,
I'm trying to create my own package by following for instance
http://epub.ub.uni-muenchen.de/6175/2/tr036.pdf In step 6 (page 19) it says that the
command 'R CMD build<mypackage>' should result in a tar.gz file. However,
after running the command I end up with a tar file only (no gz extension). I also
get the following warnings in the command prompt
C:\Program Files\R\R-2.12.2\src>R CMD build HSROC
* checking for file 'HSROC/DESCRIPTION' ... OK

CYGWIN environment variable option "nodosfilewarning" turns off this

I think that might mean you are running the wrong version of tar. Did
you put the Rtools/bin directory first in your path? What does
tar --version
give? The current Rtools version says
tar (GNU tar) 1.21

but Cygwin is distributing a newer one.
I do see some oddities with build in 2.12.2 in Windows 7: on my first
attempt, I got all sorts of errors, e.g.
* checking for file 'ellipse/DESCRIPTION' ... OK
* preparing 'ellipse':
* checking DESCRIPTION meta-information ... OK
/cygdrive/c/Rtools/bin/tar: ellipse/.svn/prop-base: file changed as we
read it
/cygdrive/c/Rtools/bin/tar: ellipse/.svn/text-base: file changed as we
read it
/cygdrive/c/Rtools/bin/tar: ellipse/.svn/tmp: file changed as we read it
/cygdrive/c/Rtools/bin/tar: ellipse/.svn: file changed as we read it
/cygdrive/c/Rtools/bin/tar: ellipse/chm: file changed as we read it
...
but on the second attempt it was fine. This may be an interaction with
a virus checker; that's often a problem on Windows.

I have installed R-2.12.2 which should be the latest version. I also have the
latest version of Rtools (Rtools212.exe). My operating system is Windows XP
professional x64 edition if it can help. Any clues on how to solve this issue
would be appreciated.
