Packages
There are some binary packages from several contributors; Please report all packaging bugs to their respective maintainers. They are contributions by those who participate in the Xiphos mailing lists. Note that updated binary packages may not be available immediately upon release of new source tarballs.
If you have packages to contribute or information on how to build them for a specific distribution, please let us know.
Note
Xiphos operates using support from Sword. Current Xiphos requires Sword version 1.5.11 or later (source). Most packagers offer libsword in addition to Xiphos packages.
Note that if you choose to build Xiphos with your own build of Sword, CLucene is not required, though it is still recommended.
