[Spencer Graves]

  This is also discussed in "Creating R Packages, Using CRAN, R-Forge, 
And Local R Archive Networks And Subversion (SVN) Repositories ” by 
Spencer Graves and Sundar Dorai-Raj, available from CRAN -> contributed 
documentation 
"http://cran.fhcrc.org/doc/contrib/Graves+DoraiRaj-RPackageDevelopment.pdf". 



Hope this helps. Spencer
