Dear Fr Cyrille,
gitlab.com is simply the wrong place to host our KJV source text!
If necessary, it should be hosted in-house under git.crosswire.org such that
only CrossWire volunteers have access.
Important: The KJV module is an exception to our usual practice of taking
source text from a publicly accessible website or third party supplier. It was
always specially developed in-house from the early days of CrossWire. Much of
its development history is documented in the developer wiki at
https://wiki.crosswire.org/CrossWire_KJV and related pages.
CrossWire volunteer DM Smith has long been the prime mover in this process.
AFAIK, he still carries the main responsibility for future KJV module releases.
NB. The related KJVA module should be maintained in parallel with any changes
envisaged for the KJV module. ie. Special provision was made in 2014 to use two
iterations of osis2mod such that the Deuterocanonicalbooks were appended to the
Protocanonical books using the -a option in the second command line. This
implies that the process needs to be an exception to a semiautomatic module
build script that DomCox now uses for OSIS modules. I helped DM in the run up
to when version 2.10 was released. At that time, we had not been making use of
any git type environment to keep track of changes for either the KJV or KJVA
module.
Aside: The emergency release of KJV version 2.10.2 was an exception to the
previous process. This was an ad hoc action that Troy deemed necessary because
of the nature of the issue being fixed.
I could add further observations, but this will need to suffice for now.
Best regards,
David
