My suggestion would be to avoid pre-built indices. However, given I'm the one who first went about making them, I think there are pros in certain situations. :P
In my situation, I get to be gatekeeper over the entire solution (PocketSword), where users cannot change the version of clucene or libsword behind my back. And so I can be aware of when things might break (& increment my "v1" bit of the download URL of the indices). BTW, I would strongly suggest that no one else use either the and-bible or PocketSword pre-built indices due to incompatibilities that have been explained in other posts. :) I'd also strongly suggest that no one else creates new ones for another platform, unless it's absolutely necessary. They are messy, as you can probably gather from all these posts! :) Thanks, ybic nic... :) On 24/01/2013, at 5:18 AM, Peter von Kaehne <ref...@gmx.net> wrote: > >> Von: Andrew Thule <thules...@gmail.com> >> There are Pros and Cons either way (resource usage and download time >> being considerations) as you point out. > > There are no pros and only contras.
