How to generate .db package from a custom cdf?

Question

[Nachocab]

I have a custom CDF and I'd like to create a .db package like this one. Does anyone know what package I can use to create it? I think AnnotationForge might help, but I'm not sure what function I should use.

Never tried but should work:

# in R
library(makecdfenv)
make.cdf.package("<filename>.cdf", cdf.path="<folder where the .cdf file is>", compress=FALSE, species="Your_species", package.path = "<output folder>")

# on the command line
# R CMD INSTALL <output folder>/<filename>

# again in R to load it
library(<filename>)
