We (The CrossWire Packaging Team) missed the Feature Freeze deadline for
getting SWORD 1.5.11 packages into Jaunty. Running the command
rmadison sword
will show you which version of SWORD is included in which releases:
sword | 1.5.8-8 | dapper/universe | source
sword | 1.5.9-8ubuntu1 | hardy/universe | source
sword | 1.5.9-8.1ubuntu1 | intrepid/universe | source
sword | 1.5.9-8.1ubuntu1 | jaunty/universe | source
sword | 1.6.0+dfsg-1 | karmic/universe | source
If you would like to install and use our recent SWORD (and BibleTime and
Xiphos and Bibledit and Biblememorizer) packages in Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04,
please browse to
http://launchpad.net/~pkgcrosswire/+archive/ppa
and follow the instructions there to add this PPA to your Ubuntu system.
Then apt-get (or aptitude or Synaptic or whatever install tool you
prefer!) will find and install the current packages.
Current packages of SWORD, Biblememorizer, Bibledit, BibleTime, and
Xiphos are already in Debian testing (Squeeze) and in Ubuntu Karmic
(which will become 9.10), so the next official release of each
distribution will definitely have these more up to date packages in them.
If you need help configuring your Ubuntu machine(s) to recognize and
install packages from our PPA, please do let me know.
Jonathan
