[sword-devel] SWORD CD ISO

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Hey guys,

Our CD ISO is horribly outdated.  I still get occasional requests for 
CDs (about 2 per month) and I would guess people still might download 
the ISO and burn CDs themselves.  We have too many modules now to fix on 
1 CD.

Do you guys have any thoughts as to what we should do with this?

We have a quite a few nice feature for building an install media: you 
can define a set of preselected modules for installation, so the media 
could contain 300 modules, but say, 25 could be preselected so when you 
go to install, it is ready with a default module set.

You can typically run most SWORD apps directly from the media without 
installing.

We have secured permission to include a few Gospel tracts so churches or 
other organizations can hand these out and have them autorun a 
presentation of the Gospel.

Anyway, our ISO update script grabs all the latest main-repo modules 
when updating the ISO image, but we might want to include some of the 
other repos we host, as well (Wycliffe?).

Other software?

Expand to a full DVD image and split to 2 CD ISOs?

These are just thoughts on the top of my head.  Any input?  Anyone 
excited to maintain something like this?
