Description Marek Szuba (RETIRED) archtester

Upstream keeps the module files unversioned so it is only the use of mirroring that has prevented us from seeing regular hash mismatches - and it is not clear for many of the modules whether we are allowed to mirror them or not. A convoluted and fragile process has been required to detect new modules and versions, and the request for a Repology-friendly upstream endpoint appears to have stalled.
Please switch to managing SWORD modules on a per-user basis, using tools bundled with app-text/sword (see e.g. https://wiki.crosswire.org/SWORD_Module_Source_Discovery_and_Module_Updating) or appropriate functionality in GUI front-end software.
Removal in 30 days.
