[Rd] R-devel Digest, Vol 143, Issue 25

[John Maindonald]

OK, I see now that I was supposed to twig that the reference was to putting the ‘.Rnw'
files back into the vignettes directory from the inst/doc directory where they’d been
placed in the course of creating the tar.gz file.  I am still trying to work out what I need 
to put into ‘.Rinstignore’ so that ‘.install_extras’ is not installed.

To install any other files from the vignettes directory, include a file vignettes/.install_extras which specifies these as Perl-like regular expressions on one or more lines. (See the description of the .Rinstignore file for full details.)'
