[R-pkg-devel] Scripts to generate data objects

[Kirill Müller]

The devtools::use_data_raw() function creates a "data-raw" directory for 
this purpose, and adds it to .Rbuildignore so that it's not included in 
the built package. Your scripts can then write the data to the proper 
place using devtools::use_data().

These are not meant to be available to the user, but I would like to keep them in the package itself. Right now I am storing them inside data/, for example PKG/data/datasetone.R to create PKG/data/dataseton.RData, and then adding those R files to .Rbuildignore.
