[R] Vignettes do not appear on CRAN if files are placed in /vignette subdirectory - but they do appear if placed in /inst/doc

[Søren Højsgaard]

Dear all,

In my gRbase package there are 3 vignettes placed in the /vignette subdirectory. These vignettes do not appear on http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/gRbase/index.html and neither do they appear if I open a browser with help("gRbase").

However, if instead I place the vignettes in /inst/doc then they will appear in the browser opened with help("gRbase") - and they also appear on CRAN.

Is this how it should be or am I missing something? 

Best regards
Søren
