[R] R CMD check for packages in a bundle

[Robin Hankin]

Hi

[MacOsX 10.4.6;  R-2.2.1]

I have a  bundle that comprises three packages.  I want to run R CMD  
check on
each one individually, as it takes a long time to run  on all three.  
I am
having problems.

The bundle as a whole passes R CMD check, but fails when I cd to the  
bundle
directory and run R CMD check on a  package directory.

The whole bundle passes:

octopus:~/scratch% R CMD check ./BACCO
* checking for working latex ... OK
* using log directory '/Users/rksh/scratch/BACCO.Rcheck'
* using R version 2.2.1, 2005-12-20
* checking for file 'BACCO/DESCRIPTION' ... OK
* looks like 'BACCO' is a package bundle
* this is bundle 'BACCO' version '1.0-29'
* checking if this is a source bundle ... OK

[snip]

** creating approximator-manual.tex ... OK
** checking approximator-manual.tex ... OK

octopus:~/scratch%

but R CMD check fails on the packages individually:


octopus:~/scratch/BACCO% R CMD check ./calibrator
* checking for working latex ... OK
* using log directory '/Users/rksh/scratch/BACCO/calibrator.Rcheck'
* using R version 2.2.1, 2005-12-20
* checking for file 'calibrator/DESCRIPTION' ... OK
* looks like 'calibrator' is a package bundle
* this is bundle 'BACCO' version '1.0-29'
* checking if this is a source bundle ... OK
