Re: [sword-devel] Submission of OSIS files for Bibles and Commentaries

If CrossWire is eligible for the same type of free license on Stash and Bamboo that we receive for JIRA, I can help automate this process into requiring only a commit to a Stash repository which automatically initiates the build and deploy of modules. Some nice integration points exist between

As regards details, I've replied in an email direct to you. I didn't include any crap in the conf files. It conforms to what is described in the wiki page. Module makers should want to first satisfy themselves that the module works properly. That's why I included all the relevant lines in the

Re: [sword-devel] zip/unzip weirdness technical advice please

My first guess would be to check the operation of the engine's installer. The zip, unzip, and scp programs are all very stable, reliable, well tested, and highly unlikely to cause that sort of thing to happen by themselves. On 12/26/2015 07:18 AM, Peter

Wow. A little grace would go a long way in this thread. I don't regard the idea of automatic conf file generation as fundamentally flawed. I recommend it, as long as it is done well. I do it all the time. I just start with a more complete set of

I understand the motivation behind it, which is to save time, by having a repeatable method that can be launched by a single click (as it were). But it's not saving time overall because it's being done so badly. It's wasting time for those of us who submitted good working modules! This causes a

[sword-devel] Minimum Version conf entry

The reason for this entry is to protect old frontends from new modules.  The problem with this is that probably no one I have ever asked has a complete and reliable overview of which "minimal version" reflects which specific additional feature set. As a result some modules have been added which

That was an artifact of me using the Nabble mirror. This list has far too much traffic to allow it to come into my email client on my Windows PC. I know that using Nabble is deprecated, but I'm not willing to put my PC at risk, or use up oodles of storage. btw. Though Nabble has a Raw text

Re: [sword-devel] Submission of OSIS files for Bibles and Commentaries

Recent experience of how badly this works in practice has led me to the conclusion that the approach is fundamentally flawed. When an experienced module developer submits a module for release, it is unacceptable for his work to be altered by scripted changes to the conf file. This reflects badly

I love good bug reports. They help fix issues. Details & how and why something is wrong will lead to correct fixes. (Well, mostly! It relies on having free time to implement the fixes, hey!) I love the idea of all of this being automated, but it relies on more work initially to refine to tools

Ok, one step forward. I am not sure if I am dealing with a bug or with my own limitations here, but I do think a installmgr bug is more likely: If I use the installmgr to install a new iteration of an existing module on my own computer, in my home directory, with an installation owned (in a UNIX
