Thanks for your comments. I think as soon as I add the journal article all of these will get clear.
trk
if you force install
the package.dependency.do
should not be installable. this is a file that is only hosted in the repository, but will not be copied. I make that clear in the documentation. In other words, it's a file that is executed after installing the repository, if it exists.
Hi E.F.,
This looks incredibly useful. A few thoughts that I hope could be useful:
stata.trk
in the ado/plus folder that often gets corrupted if you install a package from multiple places: on the second install, it fails to detect that it has already been installed from somewhere else; this makes theado uninstall ...
command fail for that package, and can also create issues if the files listed in both versions differ. Once the trk file is corrupt, you need to delete the entire plus folder (or if you are lucky and spotted it right away, replace it withbackup.trk
).cap ado uninstall <package>
right before you try to install it.packagename_dependency.do
? (this might also help for packages that get published in SSC or in a centralized repo)Cheers! Sergio
