  • Troubles with updating carryforward (SSC)

    I was running the adoupdate, update and it occurred to me that the carryforward (SSC) appears to be updating at each instance:


    Code:
    . ssc uninstall carryforward
    
    package carryforward from http://fmwww.bc.edu/repec/bocode/c
          'CARRYFORWARD': module to carry forward previous observations
    
    (package uninstalled)
    
    . ssc install carryforward
    checking carryforward consistency and verifying not already installed...
    installing into where I keep my  files
    installation complete.
    
    . adoupdate carryforward, update
    (note: adoupdate updates user-written files; type -update- to check for updates to official
           Stata)
    
    Checking status of specified packages...
    
       [50] carryforward at http://fmwww.bc.edu/repec/bocode/c:
            package has been updated on server
    
    Packages to be updated are...
    
       [50] carryforward -- 'CARRYFORWARD': module to carry forward previous observations
    
    Installing updates...
    
       [50] carryforward
    
    Cleaning up... Done
    
    . adoupdate carryforward, update
    (note: adoupdate updates user-written files; type -update- to check for updates to official
           Stata)
    
    Checking status of specified packages...
    
       [50] carryforward at http://fmwww.bc.edu/repec/bocode/c:

    I have three .ado files (including -carryforward-) that always update, not matter what I do (uninstall/reinstall, install from other sources or manually, etc). I've just given up and let them update, but it would be great to know why...

      Konrad, Andrew,

      The culprit is in the big file http://repec.org/docs/sscDD.php
      It states the server date as 20130725 while the .pkg file (http://fmwww.bc.edu/repec/bocode/c/carryforward.pkg ) says 20130317

      I have no clue how the PHP file was generated (manually?) but there must be a bug somewhere there. (Who should we report this to?)

      Best,
      S

        Thanks for this. Following the guidelines on submitting, my guess would be that we could use the contact details from the Boston College Department of Economics.
        Kind regards,
