Context: R2.15-0 on Ubuntu.
1. I get a WARNING from CMD check for "Package vignette(s) without
corresponding PDF:
In this case the vignettes directory had both the pdf and Rnw; do I
need to move the pdf to inst/doc?
I'm reluctant to add the pdf to the svn source on Rforge, per the
usual rule that a code management system should not have both a primary
source and a object dervived from it under version control. However, if
this is the suggested norm I could do so.
2. Close reading of the paragraph about vignette sources shows the
following -- I think? If I have a vignette that should not be rebuilt
by "check" or "BUILD" I should put the .Rnw source and pdf in /inst/doc,
and have the others that should be rebuilt in /vignettes. This would
include any that use "private R packages, screen snapshots, ...", or in
my case one that takes just a little short of forever to run.
3. Do these unprocessed package also contribute to the index via
\VignetteIndexEntry lines, or will I need to create a custom index?
