Hi,

is there a simple way, I mean a utility that converts a windows package (.zip file) to a Linux source package (tar.gz or even simply extract the source code and Rd files needed to run successfully a R CMD check). The windows package doesn't have any external lib, C code, etc..., just plain R code, so in theory it is quite straight forward (extract the code from the functions, and re-separate the Rd files from the man directory.

Any idea?

No, no such utility exists as far as I know. But as you say, it should be relatively straightforward to write one: the Rd files are concatenated and compressed into man/pkg.Rd.gz, and the R files are concatenated into R/pkg.

Not if lazy-loading is used (and it normally is). But what really is wrong with Roger Koenker's suggestion: 'unzip -a' the .zip into a library directory? It will most likely work (the reverse does: zip up on Linux, unzip on Windows).

You just need to watch out for comments in the files that will be mistaken for separators.

I think that is safe enough in Rd files, as we process the concatenated versions.
