readNEWS() states: Read R's ‘NEWS’ file or a similarly formatted one. This is an experimental feature, new in R 2.4.0 and may change in several ways
and news() also indicates that this tool is supposed to work with non-R news files. However, I've not been able to get readNEWS to read a package news file, even when following the format indicated in news(). Looking at the code for readNEWS() it seems there are couple of places where it assumes it's working with the main R NEWS file: * s.post <- " SERIES NEWS" * s.pre <- "^[\t ]*CHANGES IN R VERSION " Is this a bug or is the documentation incorrect?
