[sword-devel] PocketSword status

[David Haslam]

Cyrille,

I’m not in favour of removing modules from CrossWire simply because one of the affiliated repositories has a similar module.

Nor should it ever be expected that a module published by eBible.org would include an Obsoletes key with one of CrossWire’s modules as the parameter.

Regards,

David

Right now, it is, unfortunately, on hold, as I have another task in the foreground. I finished the main editing of the World English Bible, with the exception of still correcting the occasional rare typo. (I found one this morning in Ezekiel.) My foreground task at the moment is integrating SILE into Haiola for better PDF generation, especially

I'll also fix the key problem for when a module goes from locked to unlocked, which of course, will happen as copyrights expire and/or special permission is granted.
