One way to solve this could be to write a script that imports the file from inst/extdata using the facilities provided by your package and put it in a file under data/, then document the resulting object. I think that if you build your package with --no-resave-data, it will remain an R script that will be run during the data() call. (By default, your R script will be run during R CMD build and its output will be packaged into a gzip-compressed RData file.) This might go against the guidance at <https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-exts.html#Data-in-packages>, which says: >> R code should be if possible “self-sufficient” and not make use of >> extra functionality provided by the package, so that the data file >> can also be used without having to load the package or its namespace Do you need this to be a file? Could it be a pre-parsed R object instead? -- Best regards, Ivan ______________________________________________ R-package-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-package-devel
