[Bioc-devel] R source code files of package vignettes

Hi Joern,

One possible workaround would be to replace the dummy Rnw file by a
version of the true vignette where all the code chunks are tagged
with eval=FALSE. Then you would need to keep in sync 2 versions of the
same file: the eval=TRUE and the eval=FALSE versions. But that can
easily be achieved on Unix with a 2 line shell script using the sed
command.

Cheers,
H.
