[Roxygen-devel] Roxygen tries to parse sysdata.rda from R directory.

[Vitalie Spinu]

Dear Roxygen Developers,

As noted in Writing R extensions manual
(http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-exts.html#Non_002dR-scripts-in-packages)
R source directory can contain binary sysdata.rda file with system
variables.

While trying to run 'roxygenize' when such a file is present, I run
into an error:

Error in parse(srcfile$filename, srcfile = srcfile) :
  sysdata.rda:3:1: unexpected $end

That means that an additional step of copying sydata.rda to roxygen
generated directory is required each time it runs. Would it be
possible to have an option  to skip parsing some files?

This also would be useful for S4 class definition files, since Roxygen
still handling them with difficulty.

Many thanks,
Vitalie.
