Hi Troy!
I guess InstallMgr could add a line into the .conf when installing:
InstalledFrom, but that could be a side load, a local repo, another
SWORD application install on a local lan, or one of our remote
sources which might not still host the module.
That would be helpful!
I have 2 use cases:
1) Show the repository that a module was installed from as part of
other module meta information ("Module About Dialog")
2) Check, which repository a certain module is available from in the
context of a "sync feature". In Ezra Project, I'm storing a list of
installed modules and this list can be synced between different
computers. My expectation as a user is that I want to work with the
same set of modules whichever of my computers I'm using. The "sync
feature" in Ezra Project basically checks the "list of installed
modules" (from Ezra Project synced configuration, synced via Dropbox
or similar service) and then automatically installs missing modules if
there are any modules in the list that have not been installed locally
yet. For this to work efficiently it would be good to know the source
repository of a module, because otherwise I have to search all
repositories for it (That's what I'm currently doing and the
performance is the issue).
Best regards,
Tobias
