[Rd] Failed to locate 'weave' output file / vignette product does not have a known filename extension

[Dan Tenenbaum]

Hello,

I'm seeing three different vignette-related errors with recent
versions of R-3.0.0 alpha.

First, with the package BitSeq
(http://bioconductor.org/packages/2.12/bioc/html/BitSeq.html), I get
the following when trying to build the package:

Error: processing vignette ’BitSeq.Rnw' failed with diagnostics:
Failed to locate the ‘weave’ output file (by engine ‘utils::Sweave’)
for vignette with name ‘BitSeq’. The following files exists in
directory ‘.’: ‘data-C0.est’, ‘data-C1.est’, ‘data-c0b0.prob’,
‘data-c0b0.rpkm’, ‘data-c0b0.sam’, ‘data-c0b0.thetaMeans’,
‘data-c0b1.rpkm’, ‘data-c1b0.rpkm’, ‘data-c1b1.rpkm’, ‘data.estVar’,
‘data.means’, ‘data.par’, ‘data.pplr’, ‘data.tr’, ‘ensSelect1.fasta’,
‘ensSelect1.tr’, ‘parameters1.txt’
Execution halted

My guess is it's looking for BitSeq.tex, but it's not clear where it's
looking; the package is pretty straightforward, inst/doc contains
BitSeq.Rnw and nothing else (no Makefile).

Next, the package ppiData whose source is here:
https://hedgehog.fhcrc.org/bioc-data/trunk/experiment/pkgs/ppiData
(login: readonly password: readonly)

As you can see, there is no .tex file in the source of the package,
but after running R CMD build on it, the resulting .tar.gz file
contains
ppiData/inst/doc/ppiData.tex
Then the package fails check (excerpt of ppiData.Rcheck/00install.out):

Error in vignette_type(Outfile) :
  Vignette product ‘ppiData.tex’ does not have a known filename extension (‘NA’)
ERROR: installing vignettes failed
* removing ‘/home/biocbuild/bbs-2.12-data-experiment/meat/ppiData.Rcheck/ppiData’

This package does not have a vignette Makefile either, so I'm not sure
why the tex file is included in the .tar.gz.

These two errors are with:

I also get another error on windows only ( it builds successfully on
Mac and Linux) when trying to build bumphunter
http://bioconductor.org/packages/2.12/bioc/html/bumphunter.html

I guess it's looking for bumphunter.pdf.
