[R] package.skeleton warning

[carol white]

So I finally used 
filenames <- list.files("~/Desktop/myPkg/R/", full.names = TRUE)
package.skeleton(name = "myPackage", code_files = filenames) 
and still despite the warnings mentioned before, the man and R folders seem to have been created correctly. I had put the vignettes folder and inst in the source folder (~/Desktop/myPkg) at the same level as R folder. inst contains citation. but after invoking package.skeleton, nothing happened to copy the vignettes nor inst folders in the myPackage folder. Should package.skeleton have taken care of them or I should process separately?
Thanks

Sorry, I meant "leave it out", i.e. just use
package.skeleton(name="myPackage").  This will look at the objects that
are currently defined in your workspace and base your package on those.

But if you have your code already in a bunch of files in
~/Desktop/myPkg/R/, you could use

filenames <- list.files("~/Desktop/myPkg/R/", full.names = TRUE)

to get all the names in one vector, and use that as the code_files
argument, i.e.

package.skeleton(name = "myPackage", code_files = filenames)

You may need to leave out some files if they aren't all *.R files.
