Dynare in Debian "Stretch" 9
by Sébastien Villemot 13 Dec '16

13 Dec '16

Dear all, The next version of Debian (labelled "Stretch") will be released in spring 2017. Like all Debian releases, it is expected to be maintained for 3 years, which means until 2020. Given the tight release schedule, we must make very quickly (i.e. in the coming days) a decision about the status of the Dynare package in that release. There are basically 3 options: 1. Ship Dynare 4.4.3 in Debian Stretch. Pros: this is the latest stable release, and Debian usually ships stable releases Cons: it is getting quite old 2. Ship a snapshot of Dynare Pros: fresh codebase Cons: hard to decide which git commit on which to base the package; possibly buggy 3. Drop the package (from the stable release, not necessarily from Debian sid/unstable) Pros: avoids shipping an old or a unstable codebase; makes it clear that the user must make its own decision Cons: less user-friendly All 3 options are fine with me, but I think you are in a better position than me to decide. Please let me know what to do. Best, -- Sébastien Villemot Économiste OFCE – Sciences Po

packages for Octave on Sedna
by Michel Juillard 21 Nov '16

21 Nov '16

In order to run Dynare, Octave needs to have packates installed. These packages don't seem installed on Sedna. That is maybe why the current testsuite reports on the results for 44 tests. Here is the code needed to add this packages. Maybe it could be added in README.md file for Dynare on github: pkg install -forge io pkg install -forge struct pkg install -forge optim pkg install -forge control pkg install -forge statistics Best -- Michel Juillard
