I once knew the answer to this, but can't find where I found it.
Say I have a vignette that I don't want R to automatically rebuild, perhaps it uses some
data I can't share or takes too long to run or whatever. Say it is
mypackage/vignettes/charlie.Rnw
It can create the pdf from an R session that actually has the data, place that result in
inst/doc/charlie.pdf, then run
R CMD build --no-vignettes mypackage
So far so good. But then when I do R CMD INSTALL mypackage.tar.gz the intall process
tries to run Sweave, resulting in a failure. How do I get it to skip the Sweave call?
