I think that's because your package depends on SVAR, which requires
time-series data.

Ah, good point. Although then the follow-up question why is it just asking for an unspecified dataset, and not for time series?

That point should now be fixed in git, I believe.

- The GUI_SVAR_setID_uimaker function is declared as the ui-maker, and requests no_const both for the lists X and Y, as well as no_singleton for Y. However, in the GUI I can execute the package under all those cases that are supposed to be prevented.

Ah, your ui-maker specifications for list arguments are out-of-date. The possibilities are: list_no_singleton, list_no_const and list_exclude. IIRC it was you who requested the "list_" prefix for these conditions ;-). See the current function-package doc.

OK, thanks for doing the research there. Again I fell into the trap of not realizing that installing the latest snapshot doesn't always give you the latest documentation files.

Yes, I remember that I voted for the "list_" prefix, and I still like it. So that means we have to adjust the (few) packages that use the old style? For example, StrucTiSM does, and maybe some others, too.

thanks
