I created a template spec file to make package building via the CLI a
little easier. You can download it from
https://sourceforge.net/projects/gretl/files/misc/template.spec
Comments welcome.

Good idea. One small comment: the example menu attachment,
menu-attachment = MAINWIN/Analysis
isn't valid since there's no Analysis menu in the gretl main window
(there is in the model window).
Somewhat related: there have been several fixes for the GUI package
editor since the 2016d release, so we'd urge anyone working on
function packages via the GUI to update to git/snapshot. Most recently
(yesterday) I committed a couple more changes which are designed to
auto-repair packages that may have got into a broken state.

Whooops, you're right. Fixed.

Thanks. I was also thinking that, with each release, we may offer
statistics on the available packages. How many new packages are there
since the previous release, how many were updated, and so on. I suspect
there are quite a few users out there that are not aware of how much extra
stuff you get via packages nowadays.

Yes, very good idea.
Loosely related, I'm curious if it's possible to have download
statistics for the packages in the future. This would be something for
internal information, not for the release notes. (And it probably
wouldn't cover the add-ons, as they are directly distributed with the
gretl program.)
thanks,
