Writing R extensions points to ?news, which says
in the given libraries, it is attempted to read its news in
structured form from files 'inst/NEWS.Rd', 'NEWS' or 'inst/NEWS'
(in that order).
All three are supported on the web site (I verified this with annotate
[inst/NEWS.Rd], zinbwave [inst/NEWS], and KEGGREST [NEWS]) and all are
installed at the root of system.file(package=.).
