I'm creating an R package and I need it to include a couple of non R script files which get called by one of my functions. I need these script files to be distributed with the package, naturally. So that leaves me with two questions:

  1. a) In which directory of the package tree should I place these files? b) Is that location mandatory or just convention?
  2. Do I need to change any other settings or configurations or will they just get copied to the directory mentioned in #1 and then I can figure out the path using system.file()?

I've tried to find the answer in the Writing R Extensions document, but it didn't jump out at me. And, of course, I didn't read the whole thing. Am I being too honest here?

r package
