I'm currently stymied by this. I was one who did the stub-Rnw trick
previously - it would be unwise for the vignette for twitteR to be run
truly dynamically as it requires someone's real credentials to process.
Not a problem, I run it by hand before submitting and then use the stub
.Rnw for the vignette metadata to get picked up by CRAN.
With the move to vignettes/ over inst/doc, that hasn't worked. doh!
Aside: If someone knows of a way to get a non-autogenerated documentation
file linked on a package's CRAN page (other than URL, which is a
possibility) I'd love to hear ideas.
