Hi
I am building two packages:
- a data package which contains the data and function to extract it (several
datasets, linked, like an sql database) and
- an analysis package which contains functions to analyse the data in the data
package and depends on the data package.
The data package is updated often as the data is updated regularly, while the
analysis package will (hopefully) be more static.
Now I created a report which I put in the vignette of the analysis package,
which works nicely and the report is created when the analysis package is
installed, but when the data package is updated, the user has to re-install the
analysis package to re-create the report (vignette) of the updated dataset.
I know that I am abusing the vignette, but it works nicely.
My question: Is there a way of re-creating the vignette by a user after they
installed a newer version of the data package, or is there a better way of
creating the report(s)?
1. No, if the analysis package isn't changed, it won't automatically
update.
2. Why not put the vignette in the data package? Then it will be
consistent with the data in that package.
