Hi the devel list.

I am adapting the package.skeleton to S4 classes and methods
I would have been very proud to post a new working function on this list.
Unfortunately, I do not manage to solve all the problems. Mainly

 - sys.source does not compile a file with setClass
 - dumpMethod does not exists yet

In the following code, thise two problems are notified by a line 
#################

Still with this two issues, it is possible to use package.skeleton.S4 in 
the following way:
 - first run package.skeleton (in the classical way, on a file or in the 
console).
    This creates the directories and the files
 - then run package.skeleton.S4.
     It has to be done
      * using the code_files option (since dumpMethod does not exists)
      * providing the list of the class (since sys.source does not 
compile setClass)
      * using the same path than package.skeleton

At this three conditions, package.skeleton.S4 will :
 - modify the DESCRIPTION package,
 - run promptClass on the classes gived in the list,
 - run promptMethod on all the methods related to the classes gives in 
the list.

I tryed to solve the sys.source problem, but I am not good enough in R 
to do it myself.
I do not even know if it is something hard to do or very easy. So I post 
this uncompleted function...
If someone is interested in fixing it and then adding it somewhere,
I then will write the package.skeleton.S4.Rd

sincerly

Christophe
