Subject: help-links.sh doesn't make sure that packages.html is writable (PR#2131)
Message-ID: <200210091813.UAA08317@pubhealth.ku.dk>

Here's a minor problem:

help-links.sh copies packages-head.html to ~/.R/doc/html/packages.html.
Afterwards the script tries to add more html code to the copy.
But if packages-head.html is not writable the copy won't be writable and
as a consequence the script cannot add its html code.

The following patch ensures that packages.html is writable:
