submodules in Dynare
by Houtan 13 Feb '15

13 Feb '15

Hello, If I should have any spare time this week, I wanted to work on https://github.com/DynareTeam/dynare/issues/811. Looking into this has brought up several questions. If I understand correctly, the idea of moving dates and dseries into their own repositories was that they can be used as standalone programs. As such, we want to permit people who can benefit from this code to use it directly instead of having to download Dynare as a whole. In essence, we're treating them as libraries, which I think is a good idea. But, as it's setup now, dseries is not a standalone program. In order to make it a standalone program, we'd need to add dates as a submodule of this program and probably have a configuration script that adds the dates repository to the Matlab/Octave path. At least, that's how I'd like to set up reporting: add dates and dseries as submodules to reporting so that someone could clone the reporting repository, initialize its submodules and use it as a standalone program. Doing so would not present a problem to Dynare users as Dynare could still include a dates submodule, a dseries submodule that contains a dates submodule, and a reporting submodule that contains both a dseries and dates submodule. As long as the git clone or the git submodule init are not issued with the --recursive switch, the nested submodules will not be brought in and hence the code will not be duplicated. Furthermore, I think we should discuss the location of submodules within Dynare. Currently, they're in several places: 1) contrib 2) matlab/utilities/tests 3) matlab/modules This is confusing. Though I don't have a strong opinion as to the logic we should impose on the submodules we include, I believe there should be a logic. Should all external submodules be included in contrib? should all internal matlab submodules be included in matlab/modules? Should all matlab tests be included in tests/modules (matlab/utilities/tests has to be changed, in my opinion)? It would be nice if we could make a decision about the organization of the submodules within Dynare as a group so that, going forward, we have a coherent structure that does not evolve organically but rather in an organized and logical way. Best, Houtan

Octave 4.0 release process
by Sébastien Villemot 03 Feb '15

03 Feb '15

Hi everyone, The Octave developers have begun the release process for Octave 4.0. The good news is that this release will be based on the current "default" branch, which means that it will include all the classdef-related stuff. The release will apparently also come with an improved Windows binary, and with a finalized GUI. The release process can be monitored at: http://wiki.octave.org/4.0_Release_Checklist It would be good at this stage to test the stable and unstable versions of Dynare against the current state of Octave 4.0, for two reasons: fixing possible new incompatibilities between Dynare and Octave 4.0; and reporting bugs present in Octave 4.0 that may be affecting Dynare, so that they are fixed before the final Octave 4.0 release. I will try to do that if I find the time, but don't hesitate to jump in before me. Best, -- Sébastien Villemot Economist OFCE — Sciences Po http://sebastien.villemot.name
