Example: CDNmoney_2003.9-2.tar.gz (in the archives section of CRAN)
The package maintainer forgot to remove the subdirectory ./data/create.
Nevertheless,
R INSTALL CDNmoney
works smoothly on UNix/Linux by just omitting that directory.
On Windows we get:
---------- Making package CDNmoney ------------
adding build stamp to DESCRIPTION
installing R files
installing demos
installing inst files
installing data files
cp: omitting directory `data/create'
make[2]: *** [t:/R/library/CDNmoney/data] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
make: *** [pkg-CDNmoney] Error 2
*** Installation of CDNmoney failed ***
I think it is desirable to unify. The question is which way... Opinions?
