Sure. On the debian/ubuntu side we were getting around to look into packaging modules (it is possible they are out-of date) One request (which was heatedly discussed before) is to show users 1) which modules are system-wide and hence need to use Kpackagekit to remove/add 2) for user to be able to show / hide those modules Eg. If for example one user wants to study / view all of the modules while another user just wants to work with smaller amount of modules. From me additional request would be if Bibletime can hook into Kpackagekit to show which modules are available for system-wide install and optionally install them. Kpackagekit is distro-agnostic and will work in Debian, Ubuntu and Fedora if they will have modules packaged. more info at http://packagekit.org/ -- With best regards Dmitrijs Ledkovs (for short Dima), Ледков Дмитрий Юрьевич _______________________________________________ sword-devel mailing list: sword-devel@crosswire.org http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel Instructions to unsubscribe/change your settings at above page
