hi. i was hoping to automatically set the Version: number in my package
description file (image2k-package.Rd) in the man directory by using a
.in file in the same directory. "R CMD build" excludes the .in file
because the routine .check_package_subdirs() in QC.R (which build calls)
doesn't like that file.
.check_package_subdirs() also checks files in R/, and at *that* point in
the code says "now configure might generate files in this directory" and
explicitly allows any files that end in .in. i wonder if that code
could be duplicated for the case of files in man/? a diff to that
effect (just copying three lines from the immediately prior case for R/)
is provided below.
(as a check as to the viability of this, i manually added my
man/image2k-package.in file to the tarball built by build, and both
check and install seemed to survive without any problems. a sample size
of 1 is *always* my favorite. :)
cheers, Greg Minshall
