Subject: R CMD check message: "The following files should probably not be 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
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?
