Re: [sword-devel] Possibility to install arbitrary module versions with InstallMgr
That's one failure point. The download goes to a staging folder. If the download completes then any existing installed version module is removed and the staging data is copied. There are possible failure points after the download. If you are hinting at digest sum checks on the data, no we don't have this as a check of the downloaded data-- we continue on by only checking that no errors were returned by the download process.

Re: [sword-devel] Possibility to install arbitrary module versions with InstallMgr
Does libsword assume that a module install or update is successful because there was no interruption in connection?

Re: [sword-devel] Possibility to install arbitrary module versions with InstallMgr
Thank you, Troy! Well, it's probably just my developer's mind ... thinking that something could go wrong with a module update and one may want to revert back to a previous version.

What would be significant is retaining previous versions in the remote repository. I doubt we can get people to offer every version of their texts. Updates are usually bug fixes and if they are not simply this, we usually break out the module with a new name, e.g. the NASB1995 is a new module name to preserve the 95 edition, since the latest NASB module has translation differences now as it is updated to the 2020 revision. If a user wants the previous edition, they can grab the NASB1995. If a user wants a previous SWORD version of a module, then we've done something wrong. Do you have a particular use case you have found which would benefit from allowing previous SWORD versions to be installed?

The two additional use cases that I would like to have in the SWORD engine are: - Add a function to list the module versions for a given module and a given repository - Add a version parameter to the installModule function Would it be much effort to implement this in SWORD? Are there any existing design constraints that make it hard to add this?

Re: [sword-devel] Possibility to install arbitrary module versions with InstallMgr
The biggest problem with that would seem to be that the server only keeps the current version. It doesn't keep older versions in place (or, at least it hasn't in the past) --Greg On Tue, Sep 27, 2022, 14:37 Tobias Klein wrote: > Hi Troy, > > As I am thinking about module upgrade support for Ezra Bible App > (currently not implemented) I am also (once more) asking myself why > there isn't an API for installing arbitrary module versions with > InstallMgr. > > The two additional use cases that I would like to have in the SWORD > engine are: > > - Add a function to list the module versions for a given module and a > given repository > - Add a version parameter to the installModule function > > Would it be much effort to implement this in SWORD? > > Are there any existing design constraints that make it hard to add this? > > Best regards, > Tobias > > ___ > sword-devel mailing list: sword-devel@crosswire.org > http://crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel > Instructions to unsubscribe/change your settings at above page > ___ sword-devel mailing list: sword-devel@crosswire.org http://crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel Instructions to unsubscribe/change your settings at above page
