Hello, I created a trivial package like this:
R --vanilla a = 1 package.skeleton("apkg") Then at the command prompt I removed apkg/man/* to avoid installation errors since those man pages are incomplete. Then: R CMD build apkg R CMD INSTALL --build apkg_1.0.tar.gz says: [...] packaged installation of 'apkg' as 'apkg_1.0.tgz.gz' I would have expected it to say: packaged installation of 'apkg' as 'apkg_1.0.tgz' Because indeed it did create apkg_1.0.tgz, not apkg_1.0.tgz.gz. > sessionInfo() R version 3.1.0 RC (2014-04-05 r65382) Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin10.8.0 (64-bit) locale: [1] en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8/C/en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8 attached base packages: [1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base Thanks, Dan ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
