Unfortunately there are several variables that could, in principle, affect the outcome (Is the package saved to its "installed" location? Does the user have write permission on that location? Are there two versions of the package on the system?) Anyway, I have again tried and failed to replicate the issue. Here's exactly what I did: 1) Started gretl and ran this script containing totally bogus functions: <hansl> function scalar priv1 (scalar x) return 1 * x end function function scalar priv2 (scalar x) return 2 * x end function function matrix public (series y) matrix m = {y} k = priv1(3) return m * k end function </hansl> 2) Went to /Tools/Function packages/New package and started a package under the name "testing". Selected functions "public" and "priv1" for inclusion. Added trivial description, help, etc. and saved the gfn to a "non-installed" location under my home directory. 3) Closed the package editor. Quit gretl. 4) Restarted gretl, opened the original function definition script, selected and ran the code for priv2 to put it into memory. 5) Went to /Tools/Function packages/Edit package and selected testing.gfn for editing. Went to "Add/remove functions", removed priv1 and added priv2; also edited public to call priv2 instead of priv1. Chose Save/Save gfn. At this point the "Edit function code" lister correctly shows public and priv2. 6) Quit gretl. Restarted gretl. Again opened testing.gfn for editing under /Tools. The functions shown are public and priv2, as expected. 7) For good measure I then reversed the previous procedure, removing priv2 and re-selecting priv1; save gfn; quit; restart; check: now public and priv1 are shown as included.
