Sorry.  This, and the description in the =93Writing R Extensions=94 manual,
leaves me completely mystified.  Is it that I have to remove the PDFs
that are created when I run =91R CMD build=92, and somehow ensure that
they are rebuilt when the package is installed?  Do I need a Makefile?

I am doing [R version 3.1.2 (2014-10-31) -- "Pumpkin Helmet=94; Platform: x=
86_64-apple-darwin10.8.0 (64-bit)]

R CMD build DAAGviz
R CMD check DAAGviz_1.0.3.tar.gz

Without a .Rinstignore file, I get:

<<<
The following files should probably not be installed:
  =91figs10.pdf=92, =91figs11.pdf=92, =91figs12.pdf=92, =91figs13.pdf=92, =
=91figs14.pdf=92,
  =91figs5.pdf=92, =91figs6.pdf=92, =91figs9.pdf=92

Consider the use of a .Rinstignore file: see =91Writing R Extensions=92,
or move the vignette sources from =91inst/doc=92 to =91vignettes=92.


The vignette sources were in =91vignettes=92 when DAAGviz_1.0.3.tar.gz was =
created.  There was nothing in the =91inst/doc=92 directory.

If I have in my .Rinstignore file

  inst/doc/.*[.]pdf

That filters out more than the files warned about.  I guess you meant

inst/doc/figs.*[.]pdf

But the question has to be: how did the files get copied into inst/doc?  Ma=
ybe

'When R CMD build builds the vignettes, it copies these and the vignette so=
urces from directory vignettes to inst/doc. To install any other files from=
 the vignettes directory, include a file vignettes/.install_extras which sp=
ecifies these as Perl-like regular expressions on one or more lines. (See t=
he description of the .Rinstignore file for full details.)'

suggests how?

then I get:

<<<
* checking package vignettes in =91inst/doc=92 ... WARNING
Package vignettes without corresponding PDF/HTML:
. . .


What am I missing?  Can I ignore the "The following files should probably n=
ot be installed=94 message?

Not if you want to submit the package to CRAN.
