> qemacs I love it =) I guess I'll switch to something else for editor in ssh terminal. There are plenty of alternatives for small-scale emacs-like editors. Although I think this is the only small one which does X11 with really cool effects. Oh well =) > sword-text-viet > sword-text-tagalog > sword-text-itadio > sword-text-rst > sword-text-frelsg These are bibles! Hence they don't change very often.... And they were part of debian. My team (Debian/Ubuntu) pkg-crosswire were meant to take over these and update them, but unfortunately that didn't happen yet =( There are alternative means to download them (not using apt but crosswire frontends). We got into an argument with upstream on how to package these and handle them in front-ends. So for now please remove them cause none of the frontends are currently available in Ubuntu which will automagiclly pick these up. > > Of course, that's a lot of packages.
