<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hello, Nic.<br>
<br>
I thought you might be thinking that. We need a new approach.<br>
<br>
The eBible.org repository will probably never be much more stable
than it is right now. I'm not aware of any pressing need to do a
whole-repository rebuild at this instant, but I would say that it
is likely that this will happen from time to time, like when any
adjustments are made to the versification selection (including
adding new versification possibilities, as well as continuing to
optimize the selection of existing versifications), changes to the
OSIS generation, etc. I actually did just change one aspect of the
OSIS generator, but it only affected one translation. And, I
suspect that there may be a few more things that come up.
Nevertheless, the repository is usable, right now, except for the
lack of PocketSword index files and listing in the master
repository list.<br>
<br>
I rebuild modules if any source file changes, even by one jot or
tittle. I get emailed reports of typos at a rate that is actually
difficult to keep up with, sometimes every day. Remember, I'm
actively maintaining well over 700 Scripture projects, most of
which feed into the eBible.org repository. A few of the projects
are tied into active public projects, like the World English Bible
family, the Translation for Translators, and several minority
languages. Those could change weekly. Others are tied into active
translation projects with slower release cycles, but with that
many, there will be changes and additions coming out frequently.<br>
<br>
In other words, if you are waiting for the eBible.org repository
to be really stable, you are probably waiting for something that
might not happen.<br>
<br>
Alternatives include:<br>
<ul>
<li>Go ahead and automate the index build in its current
location. When space becomes an issue, either upgrade the
server or discard any obsolete index over 3 months old.</li>
<li>Update PocketSword to not need pregenerated index files,
i.e. by generating them itself on first access or by not using
them.</li>
<li>Update PocketSword to look for the index files on eBible.org
where I have plenty of space for them, or on a subdomain of
crosswire.org on the same server.</li>
<li>Only keep the index for the current version active on the
server. Honestly, you look for the index right after a
download, so people with older versions of the module would
probably already have the index.<br>
</li>
</ul>
Other ideas?<br>

<div>The way things work is that I create an index for each
module, but I create an index for each version of each module. I
don't delete them, either, as a user may have an older version
of a module and want the index for that particular version of
that particular module.</div>
<div>With the rate of versioning of new modules for eBible, I have
avoided creating new modules for fear of very quickly filling
the HDD on the web server!</div>

<div>I hope that helps you understand why this isn't happening
yet...</div>

Is there anything I can do to help make that happen?<br>
I could create them on my local machine and upload them as
necessary, if that would help...<br>
