Troy, thank you very much for your work on the installmgr part!
I noticed that calling terminate() doesn't terminate the download. Is tested this in BibleTime, so I'm not sure if it's our bug or Sword's. Can you reproduce the bug?
Yes, I could reproduce and think I have it fixed now. Thanks for the report. Let me know if you still have troubles.
Is there a way of error (connection troubles, etc.) handling?
Yeah, I think there are error codes (<0) returned from the FTP methods. Where you wanting something additional?
-Troy.
Thanks again, Joachim
A few corrections:
./installmgr -init #to initialize installmgr. NOTE: -init, not -i
You might need to be root on your *nix system if your sword modules are installed systemwide, like at /usr/share/sword
I'll post a new InstallManager.exe for windows soon that links against the new library, so we can get some windows feedback from you.
-Troy.

The InstallMgr code has be updated to include support for recursive directory installations. This is needed to support modules that contain images and other media in subdirectories of their DataPath.
I've temporarily augmented our Finney genbook module with an image for testing (sorry Chris for temporarily corrupting a module, but the currently released installmgr code shouldn't download the extra subdirectory)
Quickest access to the engine code is with the commandline installmgr utility under sword/utilities/installmgr, and you can test with a command like:
./installmgr -i #to initialize installmgr in case you've never used it before
./installmgr -ri crosswire Finney #to download and install the Finney module from crosswire
check for finney datapath directory and new image subdirectory installed in your current module-set.
./installmgr -u Finney #uninstall Finney and be sure we've cleaned up all datafiles, including image subdirectory.
If you're calling installmgr engine code directory from your application, the API has changed slightly:
Names have been changed to better reflect our standard naming conventions, and make more sense.
The 2 status reporting virtual methods have been moved from InstallMgr class to a new StatusReporter class, and the InstallMgr constructor takes an instance of your subclassed StatusReporter.
There is also a new mechanism to provide your own FTP tranport code, in case you don't have CURL on your machine. There is a new base class: FTPTransport that implements basic FTP functions and exposes a single virtual method to override for subclasses:
char FTPTransport::getURL(const char *destPath, const char *sourceURL);
if you override this method and provide your own implementation to retrieve sourceURL and save it to destPath, then you can supply this subclass to the InstallMgr by overriding:
FTPTransport *InstallMgr::createFTPTransport(const char *host, StatusReporter *statusReporter);
The default implementation returns our CURL or FTPLib subclass of FTPTransport (I don't think FTPLib is completely functional yet:
#ifdef CURLAVAILABLE return new CURLFTPTransport(host, statusReporter); #else return new FTPLibFTPTransport(host, statusReporter); #endif
There have been some other useful methods added around the API recently to support this and other things, you might check the ChangeLog or unaptly named sword-cvs archives for svn checkins:

PS. I'm excited about and look hopefully toward all the desires to help!!!
