Subject: [Rd] news file included in source but not binary package
Message-ID: <3A822319EB35174CA3714066D590DCD504AF7F68@usrymx25.merck.com>

Dear R-devel,

I've noticed that when I place a `NEWS' file in the top-level directory for
a package, then do R CMD build mypkg, the file gets included in the .tar.gz
file.  However, if I do R CMD build --binary mypkg, the `NEWS' file does not
get included in the .zip file.  Is this intentional?  Is there a way I can
get such a file included in the pre-compiled package automatically?

Best,
Andy
