[sword-devel] CrossWire repos?

Sun Apr 7 16:20:06 MST 2019

My impressions from this thread is that this is still an unresolved
server issue? If the new server was changed to be exactly like the old
server, then PocketSword should be able to download, correct? This
workaround is good and all, but it's still a workaround, which is to
say, a temporary fix.

p.s. - I didn't realize how much of this thread was about PocketSword.
Previously, based on the title and the snatches of the conversation that
crossed my eyes, my impression was that this conversation was mostly
about a server matter. I would have replied sooner regarding PocketSword
if I had known.

So... Either, something in the IndexOptions did indeed make a minor adjustment to the output which fixed the problem, or else the problem is something entirely different.
