Hi,
I've got a quick question about file permissions and packages...

I'm creating my own package, and am having problems with its vignette
not being seen when I install it into R...

As I understand it, the permissions of the source tree should be as
follows:
  o Directories - drwxrwxr-- 
  o Files -         -rw-r--r--
 
Everything builds and runs through 'R CMD check' fine with no warnings
or errors...

I now install the package as root, and again it goes in fine - and I can
see the library, its functions, and their man pages, when I fire up R.

However, when I call openVignette(), my package vignette is not visible.

Going into the file system, finding the installed library, and doing
'chmod -R 777 *' on the package, seems to fix the problem, without
breaking anything else.

However, I suspect I'm not supposed to do this! :-) Can anyone tell me
what permissions I should have on my 'inst/' and 'doc/' directories for
the vignette to be visible to openVignette, or anything else I need to
do to make my package install so that the vignette is visible?

Cheers,
Crispin
