I'm building my new stuff against svn head. You can build against
whatever you think is stable right now. If you have a working binary, I
would just drop it in place right now, and then update it when you have
a stable new release.

Dear Frontend Teams,
I'm planning to burn CDs for people (about 60) who have requested
them (yes, we still get occasional CD requests), and was wondering
if you might wish to update your stuff in the 'latest' ISO folder
here which is the root from where we build the ISO.
ftp://ftp.crosswire.org/pub/sword/iso/latest/
I'll update the modules and clean off the ridiculously archaic
blobs of whatever.
Is your intention for this CD to include software based off of 1.6.2
or will 1.7 be finished before that for front-ends to target?

Historically, we've tried to include installers for Mac, Windows,
and Linux. I'm conceding to give up on the Linux software (on the
CD), so we should probably just remove all of our Linux binary
bundles.
These installers should be configured to allow installing of
modules from the CD. The InstallMgr class supports installation
not just from a remote source, but from a local path as well. If
your installers could add the root of the CD path as an install
source, that would be excellent.
We also try to make things run from the CD if possible. I know
BPBible has a 'portable' install for this and some of our other
frontends run find from the CD as well. If there is a binary you
can place somewhere on the CD that, when double clicked, it can
start and find it's modules from the CD (at least), that would be
great. SWORD looks in the current folder for modules, so if you
place your binary in the root of the CD, it might just magically
work. Otherwise, you could have a subdirectory with your stuff
and include a sword.conf which specifies a datapath of ../ or
something. Just ideas.
You can download the latest ISO image from here so you can locally
update it and play to test how your stuff works.
ftp://ftp.crosswire.org/pub/sword/iso/
When you get it working well, if you could update the
crosswire.org:/home/sword/ftp/pub/sword/iso/latest/ with your
stuff, that would be great. I'm also happy to update the CD
autorun splash screens with anything you'd like. Not sure how
this works on a Mac, but we launch a silly little windows app with
buttons to launch each installer.
We could also think about instructions to help people burn this to
a thumb drive.
Thanks for any help,
Troy
