Hello everybody,
A week ago I uploaded a new version of the Kapetanios test: Kapetanios 2.1 which I intend to use as a replacement of Kapetanios 2.0. A few months ago a user wrote to me showing that there was something wrong with the output of the function (it printed the same test statistic for one and two breaks). After a thorough inspection, the co-authors of the function (originally Ricardo Ramírez and me, but now also Andrea Sánchez Urbina) finally uncovered a silly mistake with unfortunate non trivial consequences. This problem has been corrected and the output was also significantly improved. I used the standard procedure to upload Kapetanios 2.1, but it has not been yet made available at the server. On the server, only Kapetanios 2.0 is available. I would like to ask about the status of the new function.
Friendly regards,
Daniel

    At some point there was a transitional problem due to an underlying
    change of servers. If possible, please try again with the latest release
    2022a.

    If the data is public -and I guess it is, given the source- then yes you
    can include it in a contributed function package. Basically there are
    two options:
    - If you desperately want to avoid the slightly more complex zipped
    package format, then you could for example define a matrix holding the
    copied-and-pasted data. For that you would define a private function
    (i.e., not declared public) that returns a matrix, and inside the
    function you would literally have that matrix defined. (You could
    basically do the same thing with the series type.)
    - Perhaps a better way is to go with the zipped format, and then you can
    even stuff gretl data files into your package. Please see the packaging
    guide (under the help menu), section 4.4 and especially chapter 5 "Zip
    package details".

    cheers
    sven
