Dear Eeli,

For several reason I just updated to, or actually installed from scratch, Kubuntu Jauntu (soon to be released 9.04). Therefore I could also install sword 1.6rc package. I have fixed the above mentioned problem, though not committed it yet.

Did you see the other #ifdefs we have for av11n? I believe we define 2 things in the sword cmake file to let you know if you are using the newer version of the lib. Maybe they should just be changed to something like SWORD_1_6 now that we've committed to a 1.6.x branch.


I also added setUserDisclaimerConfirmed(true) because the install manager didn't work without it.

Yes, I'm hoping you added the call after actually checking that the user has agreed to the disclaimer we suggest in #include<installmgr.h>. This is very important to protect against persecuted users unwittingly revealing their use of Bible software to foes.


Now I found out that the command line installmgr can download a master repo list. Can someone tell me how to do it from BT, or do I have to read the source again? Installmgr.h didn't give any answer.

Sorry :) This was coded before your last chastisement so it's already covered by a grandfather clause. I'll add comments, but basically, the logic is in the example installmgr commandline tool at:

http://crosswire.org/svn/sword/trunk/utilities/installmgr.cpp

search for syncConfig


BTW, this is a great enhancement. I quite often delete my bt/sword installations and adding a new repo has been very annoying.

Yeah, I'm excited about this feature, as well. It is a very positive move for us to start supporting a large array of new repositories easily for our users. We have had requests from publisher wishing to host their own sword repository and this will automatically give their material exposure to our diverse user base. It has been a very good selling point when approaching new publishers, as well. I am hoping the next revision of all of our frontends expose this feature.

The master list is just wrong. I believe Karl and I were testing with the list that is currently out there. When we release a final API which supports it, we will populate the master list with valid repos.

Releasing a RC was also very good idea.

Thanks for the encouragement.  Hoping for a final cut very soon.
Thanks for going through the effort to learn the new features the hard way and putting in the extra hours to get things compiling. Please let me know if I can help.

        -Troy.
