Dear all, I am using a package for teaching: my slides are html vignettes, and it is convenient for students to control which packages they must install, provide code and datasets.
As I am often editing the package live during the course, it would be great if I could just push to github and that the student would just have to run a devtools::install_github() to get my updated vignettes. I would rather not to have to build the package before pushing to save time. The issues is that I do not want to build the vignettes on install as they are very slow to build. On my computer however it is quick because I have cached the knitr chunks output. So I was hoping to just have to run devtools::build_vignettes() on my machine before pushing the files thereby created (./inst/doc) and that the student could just devtools::install_github(). I cannot make this work: no vignettes are found after install. When I do check the repository beeing installed on their computers, the html, Rmd and R files corresponding to the vignettes are present in ./doc, so it is not an issue of having the wrong .gitgnore configuration. I have read about many vignettes related issues on the net, but I did not find something dealing with this precise issue. PS: I know about the R.rsp hack, but I would prefer to find a solution more direct.
