sure :)

i can replicate the issue, but the problem does not affect all components of 
inst (its *content* is supposed to be installed, not the folder itself): it 
does indeed install inst/CITATION, inst/NEWS.Rd and inst/screenshots/, but 
neither the inst/rkward dir nor the R dir.

that's odd, rk.ANOVA for instance installs just fine, and also do the 
precompiled packages (macOS, windows and even the debian package) of 
rk.gitInstall. also, if you manually download the source package from the 
latest release tag

  https://github.com/rkward-community/rk.gitInstall/releases/tag/0.01-2

and do call

  install.packages("/path/to/rk.gitInstall-0.01-2.tar.gz", repos=NULL)

it installs correctly.

but the source package in our repo

  https://mirror.faigner.de/kde/files/rkward/R/pckg/rk.gitInstall/index.html

is also missing R and inst/rkward (the binary packages do not!), and

  devtools::install_github("rkward-community/rk.gitInstall")

also doesn't install those directories. why? i have no clue... during 
installation, install_github() notes:

   Removed empty directory ‘rk.gitInstall/R’
   Removed empty directory ‘rk.gitInstall/inst/rkward/plugins’
   Removed empty directory ‘rk.gitInstall/inst/rkward/po/de/LC_MESSAGES’
   Removed empty directory ‘rk.gitInstall/inst/rkward/po/de’
   Removed empty directory ‘rk.gitInstall/inst/rkward/po’
   Removed empty directory ‘rk.gitInstall/inst/rkward’

but those directories are *not* empty in the master branch. it doesn't help to 
use the develop branch either.

no, that's there:

https://github.com/rkward-community/rk.gitInstall/blob/master/R/rk.gitInstall-package.R

btw, it is there for roxygen2 only, which doesn't render documentation if it 
is not followed by actual R code (function, class definition etc.). to make it 
unnecessary to put an empty function at the end of this special meta file that 
an R package needs, roxygen2 more elegantly does also render it if the key 
string "_PACKAGE" is found.

i'll have to investigate what's going on here.
