Good idea, just need to decide where to put the files. I assume /usr/share/sword is the right place since that fits the FHS? It also needs work on the website jsp that puts the modules together. > - It would also be good to have RPMs, as this is a widely used format > under Linux. again that's a good idea. I've written scripts that automatically create DEBs for all the modules, but I don't know anything about how to do that for RPMs. If someone could write a generic instructions for one module I could hack it together with the other scripts to build all at the same time maybe. (if/when the scripts get onto the new server) Oh, and there's the same issue as above about where to install files. hth, Daniel _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
