Description Lillian Angel 2007-11-28 19:46:49 UTC 
Now that fop-0.94 is included in Fedora (rawhide), it would be nice to allow users to run the build-hig-pdf.sh script with the system installed fop.

This requires a change to build-hig-pdf.sh and stylesheets/hig-stylesheet-pdf.xsl. 

The fop extensions used in hig-stylesheet-pdf.xsl should be changed to fop1.extensions (according to http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/doc/fo/fop1.extensions.html). This also works when using fop-0.20.5 (the fop included with hig). Without this change, build-hig-pdf.sh does not work with fop-0.94.

The generated PDFs for both fop-0.20.5 and fop-0.94 are identical. In my attached patch, I propose introducing an environment variable users can set to use the system-installed fop- if not set, the original fop would be used.

Sorry this didn't get much attention. It doesn't seem very relevant any more, though.
