If the example data files for a package are extremely large, should they just be put in a different package specifically for example data? If so, are these data packages normally submitted to CRAN/BioC or mentioned in README with directions specifying where to download on developer site?
If these files are all dot-tsv (.tsv), they would seem appropriate for the data directory. "Writing R Extensions" doesn't specifically mention this as a valid file extension for that directory. Glancing around at some other packages, I see a number that create an 'extdata' directory. Is there a consensus on where alternative data files should be put within a package? ---------------------------------------------------------- SIGSIG -- signature too long (core dumped) ______________________________________________ R-devel@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
