Thanks to Kit Baum, an update to the -adolist- package is available
from SSC. -adolist- manages lists of user ado packages.
To install the update, type
. ssc install adolist, replace
or use the -adoupdate- command.
ADOLIST SSC
===========
-adolist- now interacts with the SSC archive. For example, type
-adolist ssc- to view the list of available adolists on SSC:
<snip>
. adolist ssc
-----------------------------------------------------------------
http://fmwww.bc.edu/repec/bocode/0/
Ado package lists
-----------------------------------------------------------------
PACKAGE LISTS you could describe:
wagegap Wage gap decomposition packages
DIRECTORIES you could -net cd- to:
../
-----------------------------------------------------------------
(type -adolist ssc pklname- for more information on pklname)
<snip>
There is just one package list available yet. You can then click on
"wagegap" in the output above or type -adolist ssc wagegap- to
describe the list:
<snip>
. adolist ssc wagegap
-----------------------------------------------------------------
package list wagegap from http://fmwww.bc.edu/repec/bocode/0

TITLE

Call for Contributions
======================
The idea behind -adolist- is that users can share their knowledge
about ado packages. Of course this only works if many users
participate and provide their own package lists.
If you want to make available a package list, compile the package list
(and a help file) using -adolist store- and then send the package list
file (and the help file) to Kit Baum ([email protected]), who will upload
the package list to the SSC archive. Make sure that you use a unique
name for the package list (package lists and packages share the same
namespace). Furthermore, it is sensible to use the -title()- option in
-adolist store- to include a package list title to appear in the table
of contents displayed by -adolist ssc-. You may contact me offlist
([email protected]) if you need assistance producing a package
list.
[In case you are interested: Yes, the -wagegap- package list,
including the accompanying help file, was produced by a single call to
-adolist store- with out any post editing of the files.]
Further changes
===============
o -adolist dir- and -adolist describe- now produce output that mimics
the output from -net from- and -net describe-.
o -adolist describe- now displays subheadings.
o -adolist install/update- now keeps track of packages that
were on the system prior to installing the package list and,
by default, -adolist uninstall- does not uninstall such
packages.
o -adolist install/update- now removes old copies of packages.
o -adolist describe/install- now has a -from()- option to specify
the location of the package list. Alternatively, include the
path in the package list name.
o -adolist- should now be robust to paths containing blanks
