Re: [sword-devel] Help with CzeCEP update (av11n)

Karl,

 

I was short, but this is no solution. Sorry.

 

Matej is very clear that the versification is off. So we export and reimport a module and create more grief. We need a new source and we then need to import that. In the correct versification.

 

I fully agree with you that the loss of source text for so many of our modules is a bad problem - particularly when fixing things would be easy enough.

 

We do have for  the last year now for all modules newly uploaded the source texts on the server. Fixes can be done and rolled out very fast.

A module created this way would not be accepted for new import.



Sorry, which way? What’s wrong? Do you mean, because of using 
mod2imp? I will gladly use any better sources I will be pointed 
to, or contact the module maintainer, but I am afraid there is 
none and nobody.

It is absurdity of the first order that two facts are combined, first, that there isn't locally-maintained access to a module source, and second, that the loss of the remote source means that the module can never be repaired or updated.  Essentially, "you don't have it now, and you can't have it again.  Ever."

Matěj, if you wish, and can make your fix by whatever means, let me get a copy and it will go into Xiphos repo within a day.

This kind of situation is exactly why I started my own repo in 2007 (now known as the Xiphos repo)... because there are far too many situations where forward progress becomes impossible, from simple catatonia of module management lasting literally years, to policy catch-22, to desire not to be hamstrung by procedure.
