makePdInfoPackage: Create a Platform Design Info Package
In benilton/pdInfoBuilder-release: Platform Design Information Package Builder

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) Examples

This generic function create a platform design info package based on the parameters contained in object which will generally be an instance of a subclass of PkgSeed. The result is a new directory on the filesystem containing the source for the generated pdInfo package.

1	makePdInfoPackage(object, destDir, batch_size = 10000, quiet = FALSE, unlink = FALSE)

`object`	See `showMethods("makePdInfoPackage")` to see available methods.
`destDir`	Path where the resulting pdInfo package source directory will be written.
`batch_size`	An integer controlling the size of batches processed when reading the flatfiles and loading the DB. In general, larger values of `batch_size` will use more memory and less time (unless you exceed physical memory, in which case more time will be used as well).
`quiet`	A logical value. When `TRUE`, diagnostic and status messages are not printed.
`unlink`	A logical value. If 'TRUE', and 'destDir' already contains a file or directory with the name 'pkgname', try to unlink (remove) it.

In general, creating the SQLite database will be a time and memory intensive task.

This function is called for its side-effect of producing a pdInfo source package directory.
