R-devel Digest, Vol 143, Issue 25
OK, I see now that I was supposed to twig that the reference was to putting the ?.Rnw' files back into the vignettes directory from the inst/doc directory where they?d been placed in the course of creating the tar.gz file. I am still trying to work out what I need to put into ?.Rinstignore? so that ?.install_extras? is not installed.

I am doing [R version 3.1.2 (2014-10-31) -- "Pumpkin Helmet?; Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin10.8.0 (64-bit)]
R CMD build DAAGviz R CMD check DAAGviz_1.0.3.tar.gz
Without a .Rinstignore file, I get: <<< The following files should probably not be installed: ?figs10.pdf?, ?figs11.pdf?, ?figs12.pdf?, ?figs13.pdf?, ?figs14.pdf?, ?figs5.pdf?, ?figs6.pdf?, ?figs9.pdf? Consider the use of a .Rinstignore file: see ?Writing R Extensions?, or move the vignette sources from ?inst/doc? to ?vignettes?.
The vignette sources were in ?vignettes? when DAAGviz_1.0.3.tar.gz was created. There was nothing in the ?inst/doc? directory. If I have in my .Rinstignore file inst/doc/.*[.]pdf
That filters out more than the files warned about. I guess you meant inst/doc/figs.*[.]pdf But the question has to be: how did the files get copied into inst/doc? Maybe 'When R CMD build builds the vignettes, it copies these and the vignette sources from directory vignettes to inst/doc. To install any other files from the vignettes directory, include a file vignettes/.install_extras which specifies these as Perl-like regular expressions on one or more lines. (See the description of the .Rinstignore file for full details.)' suggests how?
then I get: <<< * checking package vignettes in ?inst/doc? ... WARNING Package vignettes without corresponding PDF/HTML: . . .
What am I missing? Can I ignore the "The following files should probably not be installed? message?
Not if you want to submit the package to CRAN.
