Hmmm, -texdoc- is "well-behaved" for me... Maybe that constitutes the
difference between the OSes?
. witch texdoc
If more than one file of a type, first listed is active...
----- .ado -----
c:\ado\plus\t\texdoc.ado
*! version 1.0.0 22mar2009 Ben Jann
----- .hlp -----
c:\ado\plus\t\texdoc.hlp
. adoupdate texdoc
(note: adoupdate updates user-written files; type -update- to check for
updates to
official Stata)
Checking status of specified packages...
[152] texdoc at http://fmwww.bc.edu/repec/bocode/t:
installed package is up to date
(no packages require updating)

Betreff: Re: general -adoupdate- issue [was: st: xtabond2 update issue]
Martin:
I am seeing this issue today with -adoupdate-, as both -xtabond2- and
-texdoc- are perpetually listed as needing updates on my computer.
My version of -xtabond2- is the same as yours. My version of -
texdoc- is:
. which texdoc
/Library/Application Support/Stata/ado/plus/t/texdoc.ado
*! version 2.0.4 03apr2009 Ben Jann
(As you can see, I am running Mac OS X rather than Windows, so I
suspect we can eliminate the OS as a source of the problem.) Do you
have -texdoc- installed? What happens if you (re)install it?
I experienced this same problem with -adoupdate- about 6 to 9 months
ago -- although my memory is that another package (or packages) was
perpetually in need of update. I thought I "solved" that instance by
deleting and then re-installing the "offending" packages, but no
amount of uninstalling and re-installing -xtabond2- and -texdoc- has
any effect on the reported need for these two to be -update-d today.
All:
I think it would be helpful if there were a -which- subcommand to -
ssc-, as the information provided by -ssc describe foo- and -which
foo- do not appear to correspond closely enough to allow me to
determine if a locally installed package is identical to the current
version in the SSC archive. Although perhaps I am not reading the
available information correctly.
It would be useful to know if anyone else is experiencing this
problem -- although the general lack of response suggests not. So
what could be causing Martin and I, on different platforms and
different continents, to experience the same problem?
Best,
Mike
