[sword-devel] ERV issues in And Bible

Wed Mar 8 15:43:19 MST 2017

You can see the source OSIS XML file at https://ebible.org/Scriptures/engerv_osis.zip if you like. All of the OSIS source files for Sword modules in the eBible.org repository are in that directory.

I'm referring this one to whoever the current pumpkin holder for osis2mod is for comment and/or further action, and waiting for a response before doing anything else. In the mean time, I just rebuilt engerv2006eb using osis2mod Rev 3401 just to make sure we aren't dealing with an older and possibly already corrected problem. If I need to rebuild the eBible.org repository with a corrected version of osis2mod, please let me know.
