Dear Gretl Team,
I started analyzing the function packages looking for possible
bugs/problems/misbehavior. The first round of tests is very simple: check
if there is the developer's contact mail and check if the sample script is
working fine. I chose a test order classifying them by the author of each
package because I think it will be easier contact them just once to talk
about the problems. The first author is... Allin :-)
Dear Allin, take a look at you packages. It is almost everything working
just fine [...]
Name Author Version Date
Contact mail Working example
addlist.gfn Allin Cottrell 1.1 19/08/2009
no yes
almonreg.zip Allin Cottrell 0.4 09/02/2015
yes no
Thanks, Henrique, this is an excellent start. And you're quite right
I haven't supplied a contact email in my packages up till now. A
recent change is that an email address can be put into the .spec
file as such ("email = whatever").
You have a "no" against "Working example" for the almonreg package:
can you tell me what problem you found?
Allin
