[Rd] WISH: "R CMD build" should use the (correct) package name (PR#9266)

Full_Name: Arne Henningsen
Version: >= 2.3.0
OS: Linux (SuSE 10.0)
Submission from: (NULL) (134.245.18.1)


Since R version 2.3.0 "R CMD check" and "R CMD INSTALL" work for packages whose
package name is different from the directory name in which it is located (see
http://cran.r-project.org/src/base/NEWS). While "R CMD check" and "R CMD
INSTALL" determine the correct package name from the DESCRIPTION file, "R CMD
build" uses the directory name (and not the package name) for the file name of
the source package and for the base directory inside this .tar.gz archive (see
also http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/e2/devel/06/09/0406.html).
Please let "R CMD build" determine the correct package name from the DESCRIPTION
file.

Thanks,
Arne
