Hi,

does anybody know, how to enforce a certain encoding for
readCitationFile()? Haven't found any usable documentation for this :(

Really? From the help file in current versions of R (2.10.1 patched, R-devel)

     ‘readCitationFile’ make use of the ‘encoding’ element (if any) of
     ‘meta’ to determine the encoding of the file.

so

readCitationFile(basecit, list(encoding="latin1"))

is probably what you are looking for. And PLEASE do use the recommended portable encoding names.


E.g.:
basecit <- system.file("CITATION", package="base")
source(basecit, echo=TRUE, encoding="8859-1")
readCitationFile(basecit)

BTW: 'make check' is a relativ long running task and if one changes
a source file, all checks are ran again til it gets to the code in
question (in my case tests/Examples/utils-Ex.Rout.fail). Is there
a shortcut to jump immediately to the utils tests?

No, but many sections can be suppressed -- see check --help and the environment variables discussed in the R Internals manual.
