[Rd] NEWS and ChangeLog in available.packages()

2008-02-18 Thread Gabor Grothendieck
With the newly available NEWS and ChangeLog links on the CRAN
pages for packages it would be nice if available.packages()
gave information on those.

 how would you propose?

 It returns a character matrix, and that probably  should  not be
 changed.


Currently the Depends (and Imports, Contains and Suggests)
are character strings containing components to form
one large string so maybe there could be a Docs whose
substrings could include NEWS, ChangeLog and the vignette
and demo names or maybe separate ones for NEWS/ChangeLog,
vignettes and demos.
