Primary index is missing #5

I'm a user of a Sailfish OS app called "Bible'me". Unfortunately it doesn't work anymore since you deleted the /index.xml ( #f3367ec1de976653cfc677904c3c2a851eeef2b2) Maybe this leads to an error with other bible apps as well, so I wanted to ask if you could bring this file back.

Please excuse me, if I don't know all conventions on reporting issues on Github and everything yet. Thanks for this awesome repo!

Yep, I lost somehow some of my data on my SailFish OS and now I cannot download your bibles from Bible'me either.

It's a shame because you are the only one I know that provide us with the "kjf" (King James Francaise) translation.

Can you please fix this ?

Jesus Christ bless you.

In the meantime, the index.xml can be downloaded from there and must be put in ~/.local/share/harbour-bibleme/harbour-bibleme/

And then, restart bibleme

Oh, I see index.xmlwas created with this commit (2013-11-09) and existed unchanged until it was deleted with that commit (2016-03-05). It is (thanks git) still available in its original state (i.e. as between 2013-11-09 and 2016-03-05).

@matt-cook, can you please recreate index.xml (or restore the old one, if it still corresponds to the available bibles) or share why it was removed, as its absence renders the software Bible'me (and all other software relying on the existence of index.xml) useless.

P.S.: @sebma, thank you for providing an easy download to work around this issue. Still manually downloading the ZIP file, extracting its contents and putting index.xml in the right place is tedious and establishes a significant technical hurdle for many potential bible readers.
