SUMMARY QUESTION. Should there be a `^vignettes$` line in `.Rbuildignore` files?
BACKGROUND. I am trying to trim the size of the 'oce' package. It has several vignettes, and I would like to learn how to include them optimally in my tarball. The listing given in DETAILS reveals a duplicated vignette (`.Rmd`) file. (I see such duplication for all the vignettes.) The files in `oce/inst/doc` are created by `devtools::document(roclets = c('rd', 'collate', 'vignette')))` and so I am guessing that I should leave them intact. However, I don't see the sense in the `vignettes` directory being included in the tarball, since it just contains duplicates of `.Rmd` files already included in `inst/doc`. I wonder ... should add `^vignettes$` to my `.Rbuildignore` file to prevent the duplicates? I can't find advice online that answers the question. Thanks. Dan Kelley, Dept. Oceanography, Dalhousie University, Nova Scotia, Canada. DETAILS. This is what I have at present. ➜ oce git:(master) ✗ tar -vtf ~/git/oce_1.3-0.tar.gz|grep map_proj -rw-r--r-- 0 kelley staff 3602 28 Jan 07:27 oce/inst/doc/map_projections.R -rw-r--r-- 0 kelley staff 12682 28 Jan 06:13 oce/inst/doc/map_projections.Rmd -rw-r--r-- 0 kelley staff 747469 28 Jan 07:27 oce/inst/doc/map_projections.html -rw-r--r-- 0 kelley staff 12682 28 Jan 06:13 oce/vignettes/map_projections.Rmd ______________________________________________ R-package-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-package-devel
