I’m preparing a package (fastR) for submission to CRAN, but the vignette index
keeps going AWOL, or at least R CMD check —as-cran thinks so. I’ve tried
several things and gave myself the weekend to think of other things, but I
can’t figure it out. Perhaps someone on the list can lend a hand.
Here’s one example situation, where I build the index.html file myself and put
it in inst/doc/index.html
$ cat fastR.Rcheck/00check.log | grep -v OK
* using log directory ‘/Users/rpruim/projects/github/fastR/fastR.Rcheck’
* using R Under development (unstable) (2014-08-21 r66456)
* using platform: x86_64-apple-darwin13.1.0 (64-bit)
* using session charset: UTF-8
* checking extension type ... Package
* this is package ‘fastR’ version ‘0.8-0’
* checking CRAN incoming feasibility ... NOTE
Maintainer: ‘Randall Pruim <rpr...@calvin.edu>’
Package has a VignetteBuilder field but no prebuilt vignette index.
NOTE: There was 1 note.
$ tar -tf fastR_0.8-0.tar.gz | grep inst/doc
fastR/inst/doc/
fastR/inst/doc/Errata.Rnw
fastR/inst/doc/Errata.pdf
fastR/inst/doc/Updates.R
fastR/inst/doc/Updates.Rnw
fastR/inst/doc/Updates.pdf
fastR/inst/doc/index.html
There is an index.html in the tar ball. And If I install the package from the
tar ball, the index appears as it should in the package.
I would be happy with the auto-generated index, but that doesn’t seem to be
working either. If I remove index.html I get
$ grep -v OK fastR.Rcheck/00check.log
* using log directory ‘/Users/rpruim/projects/github/fastR/fastR.Rcheck’
* using R Under development (unstable) (2014-08-21 r66456)
* using platform: x86_64-apple-darwin13.1.0 (64-bit)
* using session charset: UTF-8
* checking extension type ... Package
* this is package ‘fastR’ version ‘0.8-1’
* checking CRAN incoming feasibility ... NOTE
Maintainer: ‘Randall Pruim <rpr...@calvin.edu>’
Package has a VignetteBuilder field but no prebuilt vignette index.
NOTE: There was 1 note.
$ tar -tf fastR_0.8-1.tar.gz | grep inst/doc
fastR/inst/doc/
fastR/inst/doc/Errata.Rnw
fastR/inst/doc/Errata.pdf
fastR/inst/doc/Updates.R
fastR/inst/doc/Updates.Rnw
fastR/inst/doc/Updates.pdf
Comparing with other successful packages created last week, it doesn’t appear
that the tar ball contains the vignette index for those either — or perhaps I
don’t know what I’m looking for.
$ tar -tf mosaic_0.9.1-3.tar.gz | grep -i index
mosaic/demo/00Index
(mosaic passes checks fine and are already on CRAN.)
Both packages use knitr to convert Rnw to PDF. mosaic also uses R.rsp to
include static PDFs.
$ grep -i vig mosaic/DESCRIPTION
VignetteBuilder: knitr, R.rsp
[09:22][rpruim@Mac21521:~/projects/github]
$ grep -i vig fastR/DESCRIPTION
VignetteBuilder: knitr
$ grep Vig mosaic/vignettes/*Rnw
%\VignetteIndexEntry{mosaic resources}
%\VignettePackage{mosaic}
%\VignetteKeywords{mosaic, vignettes, resources, references}
%\VignetteEngine{knitr::knitr}
$ grep Vig fastR/vignettes/*Rnw
fastR/vignettes/Errata.Rnw:%\VignetteEngine{knitr::knitr}
fastR/vignettes/Errata.Rnw:%\VignetteIndexEntry{Errata}
fastR/vignettes/Errata.Rnw:%\VignettePackage{fastR}
fastR/vignettes/Errata.Rnw:%\VignetteKeywords{fastR, vignettes}
fastR/vignettes/Updates.Rnw:%\VignetteEngine{knitr::knitr}
fastR/vignettes/Updates.Rnw:%\VignetteIndexEntry{Updates to R Programming in
FASt}
fastR/vignettes/Updates.Rnw:%\VignettePackage{fastR}
fastR/vignettes/Updates.Rnw:%\VignetteKeywords{mosaic, fastR, vignettes,
resources}
There must be some subtle difference between my two packages that I just can’t
spot.
Thanks in advance for any pointers about where to look.

PS. The package is on github and installs fine (vignette index included, even
though there is no index.html in the repo) using install_github("fastR",
"rpruim")
