Dear R developers,
I observed that the html help page index entry "Read overview or browse
directory" for package vignettes is missing in recent R-devel.
Thanks for the report. This is fixed now and will make it into the next
release. The code to build the HTML page was translated from Perl to R,
and the lines to do this part were accidentally omitted.

This happened on two independent computers (WinXP Prof. SP3, German)
with R-devel compiled from sources svn rev. 48125 resp. 48128
It's the same for my own and also for more prominent packages as well
(e.g. grid).
The vignettes and the index.html files exist and vignette() as well as
browseVignettes() work as expected.
I have not found anything about this in NEWS or "Writing R extensions",
which says:
"At install time an HTML index for all vignettes is automatically
created from the \VignetteIndexEntry statements unless a file index.html
exists in directory inst/doc. This index is linked into the HTML help
system for each package."
Have I missed something?
Thanks a lot
Thomas Petzoldt
