CrossWire maintains a '''Master Repositories List''' (filename: <tt>masterRepoList.conf</tt>) which is accessed by most front-end applications. Some front-ends require a refresh operation to ensure that the latest edition of the '''MRL''' is installed. The '''MRL''' includes some but not all of  CrossWire repositories and some of the Affiliated repositories.

Some front-end apps (e.g. '''PocketSword''') permit the manual addition of an FTP source though the Download UI.

Some front-end apps (e.g. '''Xiphos''') also permit the manual addition of an HTTP source via the Module Manager UI.

The Repository directory has to be specified for the Install Manager in the SWORD Project for Windows, which uses FTP access. Likewise for the other front-ends based on the SWORD API.

The Catalog & ZIP directories have to be specified for the JSword based installer (e.g. as used for Bible Desktop), which uses HTTP access.

The 'Site Name' field is just a convenient name for managing/selecting repositories. Users may edit these without any loss of functionality, as long as they ensure that each is uniquely and appropriately named.

CrossWire maintains a Master Repositories List (filename: masterRepoList.conf) which is accessed by most front-end applications. Some front-ends require a refresh operation to ensure that the latest edition of the MRL is installed. The MRL includes some but not all of CrossWire repositories and some of the Affiliated repositories.

Some front-end apps (e.g. PocketSword) permit the manual addition of an FTP source though the Download UI.

Some front-end apps (e.g. Xiphos) also permit the manual addition of an HTTP source via the Module Manager UI.

Lockman Foundation

We have at last been granted permission to distribute these 3 modules from the Lockman Foundation:

  • New American Standard Bible (NASB)
  • Nueva Biblia de las Américas (NBLA)
  • La Biblia de las Américas (LBLA)

Additionally, a gracious gift from Lockman, they have granted permission for CrossWire to distribute all 3 of these modules unlocked, for free.

The MRL has been updated to add a repository for the Lockman Foundation modules hosted on the CrossWire server.

Affiliated Repositories

Other Bible agencies

Any bona fide Bible agency may set up and maintain their own modules repository. Providing the agency adheres to orthodox Christian doctrine (i.e. not a cult!), a request for such a repository to be added to the Master Repostories List will be seriously considered by CrossWire.

STEP Bible

The Tyndale House STEPBible Data Repository hosts data created for STEPBible.org originated by Tyndale House Cambridge with a CC BY 4.0 license.

One of the datasets hosted is Bible modules for OSIS Sword software Bibles in the same format as CrossWire modules which can be used in any SWORD-compatible software. Currently, this only contains a small number of modules, but is set to grow in future. In February 2021, a proper SWORD repository has been set up. This is now included in the CrossWire MRL.[1] 

 Site Name:              STEP Bible
 Site Machine Name:      ftp.stepbible.org
 Repository Directory:   /pub/sword

 Catalog Directory:      /pub/sword
 ZIP Directory:          /pub/sword/zip

The STEP Bible app is built using a fork of the JSword API.

AndBible Extra

The AndBible Extra repository contains the free modules from the Xiphos repository. [2]

Note:

  1. ↑ It was added in March 2024.
  2. ↑ The Xiphos repository was incompatible with AndBible (it's FTP only but AB is HTTPS only) so this was made to serve those modules to AndBible users.
