Re: st: transfer installed ados from one computer to another

["Roger B. Newson" <r.newson@imperial.ac.uk>]

It would indeed be nice for -adoupdate- to be able to output a do-file 
that does the required updates. I personally have long produced a 
sequence of do-files that you can download from my website, which 
install the latest versions of all my packages for each version of Stata 
from Version 9 to Version 13. These files are automatically updated by 
my website maintenance programs every time I update my website. They can 
be found from within Stata by typing

findit instasisay

I usually encourage my colleagues to use these programs to install and 
update all my Stata packages. Most of my colleagues are still using 
Stata Version 12, so they use -instasisay_12.do-.

Best wishes

Roger

However, when you run -adoupdate- Stata does not seem to have a list of the installed ado files. So I wonder if there is a file with the list that is updated every time you install an ado that -adoupdate- reads and we ought to copy as well.
