[sword-devel] Downgrading eBible.org ftp repository service; upgrading https service

[David Haslam]

Thanks Fred,

I just successfully installed modules

- engLXX2012eb
- engUKLXX2012eb

Those are the only English LXX modules I could find beyond the Brenton Septuagint Translation, the one I am stillunable to install.

Any clues yet, Michael?

Best regards,

David

I've done that and everything looks as if I did it right, but when I attempt to install a module from eBible nothing is installed, or not that I can find, not even by perusing the filesystem under ~/.sword. I ran Xiphos from the commandline and did it again, but no error messages appeared.
