Dear All,
If a package has dynamic manual pages (i.e. `\Sexpr{} macros), then R
CMD build installs the package, and (by default) creates the PDF
manual.
I understand that this is needed for build-time Sexprs. Could anyone
explain me why `R CMD build` needs to install the package if all the
Sexprs are install-time and/or render-time? I must be missing
something here.
Thanks much,
Gabor
