Hi SAS Communities!

Just FYI.

Bart

Located as usual at: https://github.com/yabwon/SAS_PACKAGES

Changes:

• In the %installPackage() macro:
  • New parameter version= added. Indicates which historical version of a package to install. Historical version are available only if mirror=0 is set. Default value is null which means "install the latest".
  • New default value for mirror parameter set to 0

---

Introducing the SASPAC - SAS Packages Archive!

• New dedicated repository for SAS Packages created.
  • Since September 2022 the default location for packages is SASPAC - the SAS Packages Archive. It's located under: https://github.com/SASPAC where each package is stored as a separate repository with historical versions too.
  • Packages: BasePlus, DFA, GSM, macroArray, and SQLinDS were deployed into SASPAC.
  • For "backward compatibility"/historical point of view the following packages: BasePlus, DFA, dynMacroArray, GSM, macroArray, and SQLinDS will be available under the ./packages directory.

Located as usual at: https://github.com/yabwon/SAS_PACKAGES

Update in setting a package version.

• Modified macros: %loadPackage() and %generatePackage().
• The major.minor.patch approach is also accepted. Now package version can be: X, X.Y, or X.Y.Z. Missing parts are treated as 0, e.g. 1 is equivalent with 1.0.0, 1.2 is 1.2.0, and .2 is 0.2.0.

Modification in path for mirror 0 in the %installPackage() macro, it is https://github.com/SASPAC/ now.

Documentation updated.
