     makeProbePackage(arraytype,
         importfun = "getProbeDataAffy",
         maintainer,

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

arraytype: Character. Name of array type (typically a vendor's name
          like "HG-U133A").

importfun: Character. Name of a function that can read the probe
          sequence data e.g. from a file. See 'getProbeDataAffy' for an
          example.

maintainer: Character. Name and email address of the maintainer.

 version: Character. Version number for the package.

 pkgname: Character. Name of the package. If missing, a name is created
          from 'arraytype'.

  outdir: Character. Path where the package is to be written.

   force: Logical. If 'TRUE' overrides possible warnings

   quiet: Logical. If 'TRUE' do not print statements on progress on the
          console

   check: Logical. If 'TRUE' call 'R CMD check' on the package

   build: Logical. If 'TRUE' call 'R CMD build' on the package

  unlink: Logical. If 'TRUE' unlink (remove) the 'check' directory
          (only relevant if 'check=TRUE')
