I have created a series of ebuilds for modules that are available for the library app-text/sword. The .tar.bz2 file that I am attaching contains 264 ebuilds. When making a decision to include all of the available modules I considered packages such as karamba which have large numbers of add-ins available. These are the first ebuilds that I have tried to submit, please let me know if there are any problems with them. They are automatically generated so if one contains an error, they all do; let me know and I can regenerate the group. All .ebuilds attached require app-text/sword in runtime. Some require certain versions of app-text/sword, most do not. If you are interested in the sword project, information is available at www.crosswire.org/sword. One sword viewer that already has an ebuild is app-text/bibletime. Thank you. -Jason Turner
Created attachment 12590 [details] The 264 ebuilds mentioned in the bug.
Created attachment 24574 [details] app-text/sword-modules I can see you devoted a lot of time to all those ebuilds. While I do like your ebuilds, a single one with a few of the main modules would be better. I attached an example- feel free to add in what you want. I do think such a package should be added to portage, but 264 can be a little much, unless each module gains more popularity.
so many modules... maybe pick the top 10-20 modules and put it in a sword-modules-popular SINGLE ebuild :) Just a thought.... I'd be much more motivated to test that.
That's what I was trying to say. Look at my attachment. I'll make it use the top 20 modules instead of only the top 6, if that's what you want, but the second attachment is a single ebuild. I will get started on making it use the first 20 modules (within reason) right away.
Created attachment 24648 [details] app-text/sword-modules-0.1 -added Wycliffe's Tyndale's works List of modules: -King James Version -StrongsGreek -StrongsHebrew -ASV -RSV -AKJV -Josephus? -ISBE -ISV -WebstersDict -KJDV -Wycliffe? -Tyndale? The ones with question marks I wasn't sure if I should include. Josephus is a book, but not in the Bible. I recall that it may have been referenced in some form from the Old Testament. I also felt like I should include Wycliffe's and Tyndale's works, since it is through these men that we have our modern English Bible, and they can make good reference. This ebuild installs well and I would like to see it or a dirivative of it added to portage.
oh yes, I don't know why I made it ~x86. It should be fine as stable in other architectures.
Created attachment 24846 [details] app-text/sword-modules-0.1 KEYWORDS set to x86 instead of ~x86. Added Young's Literal Translation. Added Latin Vulgate. This would be a good addition to portage.
Created attachment 25152 [details] offensive? sword-modules-0.1 I added the "offensive" use flag and threw in things such as the books of Josephus, Jashur, and the Book of Mormon under there. By including them, I do not support these books and because of their questionable content, you must: # USE="offensive" emerge sword-modules for them to be installed. I am not obsoleting the previous ebuild in case the devs do not see this one to be propper.
Sorry, I got some emails from people who noticed a little problem with what I said before. I mixed up the books of Jashur and Josephus. Though I am not sure of our current book of jashur's inspiration, it is mentioned twice in the old testament, and this is why it is under the "offensive" use flag, for the debate behind its inspiration.
Created attachment 25603 [details] sword-modules-0.1 ebuild Here we go, this one includes the Arabic quran (koran) in the offensive flags as well. It involved a lot of changes to the ebuild. Also, josephus is moved back to normal instead of "offensive" due to complaints I got (I had mistaken it for jashur earlier).
Created attachment 25606 [details] sword-modules-0.1.ebuild There. I realized that one of the commands will fail if you don't have the "offensive" flag on. Sorry about that. Also included are some english translations of koran writings.
added to portage as app-text/sword-modules
