add option to skip building of vignettes
vignette building is slow, adds dependencies and points of failure. It might be good to have the option to just skip the vignette building step? (e.g. --no-build-vignettes)
I was thinking adding this as per-package as well, so one might write:
user/repo/subdir@ref --no-vignettes
or
user/repo/subdir@ref {"vignettes": false}
but your per-build option (021a4c6) is also a great idea.
Where did you get to on this? Does the above notation work? I see https://github.com/richfitz/drat.builder/blob/master/R/drat_builder.R#L468 but it's not obvious to me how to configure that.
For my use case I imagine toggling it globally (e.g. I generate ropensci.txt list programmatically from the ropkgs API, because I wouldn't necessarily know when a new package is added to ropensci github or whether or not the vignette shouldn't be build)
@richfitz hmm, this doesn't seem to be working yet. It looks like travis is deceiving you -- it says build passed but looking on the logs it isn't working there either, unless I'm missing something.
