If the modules are already in a repository, but the repo is just not on our central list, you can easily add it to Pocket Sword. The API exposes a mechanism for that, as well. Back in the dark ages, before the centralized list, that's how we got all our entries other than CrossWire into our install managers! As for a ZIP, if it has the conf file and other necessary files, you can readily open it up and install out of it. I believe BPBible allows drag-and-drop of module ZIP files? Pretty sure one of our front ends does. --Greg _______________________________________________ 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
