Hi,
I'm going to start by summarizing the suggestions (for where to put the
script) that have been presented so far:
[1] in the /demo directory
[2] in /inst/SOMETHING, where Dirk lists four possible values for SOMETHING
[3] in /R , but hidden using .Rbuildignore
[4] in the Example section of a
Dear Kevin,
I would convert the script into a function and add it to the R folder. This
makes it easy to document the script using the standard R help files. Then
add the function to the examples in the helpfile of the data in a
\dontrun{}. Then it is clear to to user how the data was generated.

Kevin,
The inst/ directory gives a good handle to pass arbitrary directory layouts
of your choosing through. You just need to avoid inst/data as it would clash
with an existing data/ directory.
I think I have seen
inst/rawData
inst/extData# as in 'external data'
and of
You can leave them in R/ (and write them as functions) but use
.Rbuildignore to exclude them from the distributed package. People can use
the source, eg github, to regenerate the package and all its data if they
wish. This way, R CMD check and tests can cover them easily while
developing.
However,

Hi,
I'm currently developing an R package that includes a small data set
along with the functions that I want to export. I have an R script that
generates the data set; the computation time is long (well, relative to
the size of the data set). So, my plan is to run the script and save()
the d
