In theory, a module cipherkey could also be changed for a module update if (e.g.) the copyright owner included additional content and wished to charge users more than they paid for the earlier version. Front-ends also need to cover that scenario, even if it’s not one we’ve seen in real life yet

I think that dividing the eBible repository into sub repos is probably not the best solution to the problem of finding the particular translation(s) you want among nearly a thousand others. That actually becomes a front end problem, where better ways of filtering, sorting, and presenting lists b

Actually, web servers don't get corona viruses, and people don't congregate in crowds around them physically, so COVID-19 has no direct effect on web servers or their use. The pandemic, however, does have some serious side-effects due to widespread panic, overreactions, shutdowns, shortages, etc

I plan to update PocketSword so that it draws from all official repositories, by default, much like AndBible does. Duplicating works in repositories is helpful, perhaps, for front ends that only look at one repository at a time, especially if the work is kept up to date in both repositories. Wh

Perhaps the only exception I would consider would be the suggestion that the three WEB modules should be removed by CrossWire because these were based on a very early edition of the WEB source text files obtained from Michael Johnson. They are now well out of date compared to the equivalents on

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,

Dear all, Actually my worry was about a question between the module team. We have duplicated modules, in Crosswire and in ebible.org. Often the ebible.org are updated and not in Crosswire. And we are very slow to update the new module in Crosswire. Then I proposed to remove in the Crosswire repo, a

Hi Michael, Maybe add the updating of all the repositories at once, as with Andbible and Bishop. This will help users who don't know they are other repository as ebible.org... My 2 cents :) Br Cyrille Le 12/03/2020 à 20:30, Michael Johnson a écrit : > Hello, my brothers and sisters in Christ. > >
