Package: gretl Version: 2020b-1 Severity: wishlist Hi Dirk,
gretl is able to take advantage of X-13ARIMA-SEATS (a.k.a. x13as) for performing seasonal adjustment of time series. x13as is now packaged in Debian (though in the non-free archive area), so it would be nice if gretl could take advantage of it. At least, a Suggests relationship should be added (note that a Recommends or a Depends is not possible, since x13as is non-free; see Policy §2.2.1). Quickly looking at the source code of gretl, I am under the impression that it may need to be slightly patched in order to find the x13as executable (it seems to hardcode a Windows .exe path). But I did not really investigate, so I leave that up to you. Best, -- ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ Sébastien Villemot ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ Debian Developer ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ http://sebastien.villemot.name ⠈⠳⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀ http://www.debian.org
