manually moving directories

[James Tauber <jt...@jtauber.com>]

After looking at the CVS manual, the easiest thing to do would be for me to
manually move the directories on dev.apache.org. I'll do this on the
assumption that no one will have anything to commit yet.

If I break everything, I apologize in advance. I just figure these sorts of
drastic changes should be made as soon as possible.

You have to use a recent version of XT as the namespace URI for XSLT changed
and your version of XT isn't recognizing the stylesheet as a stylesheet.

I had the same problem until I got the latest version of XT.

Hello,
after installing the cygnus gnu tools make now works (thanks Eric), but not for long. 
There seems to be a problem with the xsl style sheet. Here the messages:

BASH.EXE-2.02$ make
mkdir -p generated/org/apache/fop/fo/properties;
mkdir -p generated/org/apache/fop/render/pdf/fonts;
cd generated && java com.jclark.xsl.sax.Driver ../src/codegen/properties.xml ../
src/codegen/properties.xsl
file:/C:/java/xml-fop/src/codegen/properties.xsl:11: variable "classname" not de
fined
make: *** [properties] Error 1

Any hint is welcome - and am I the only one to do this under win9x and having these 
problems?

When you submit a patch; it goes in with the contributor;s name and email
address clearly marked as well as a short description of what the change
was and why it was made. So one can always find out where to send
beer/bomb letters if you (dis)like a change.

If you do not want the improvement to be attributed to you, make sure you
say so when you submit the patch!

Well, there's no hurry with being "promoted". I'll send the first batch to
you and see what happens after that.

As long as I retain the right to commit *myself* (which may happen soon),
then I'm happy. :-)

Quite correct. Meanwhile if you go to

	dev.apache.org

you will see some helpfull hint's on CVS and links to various places.
Notice the .cvsignore and .cvsrc settings which make your 'diff' among
things behave sensible. In general, once you managed to checkout your
first version. things get a lot easier. Basically you just do a 'cvs
update' to make sure you are in sync; then you hack for a couple of days
until you are happy with the result; and then you do a 'cvs diff >
patchfile'. And that is it :-)

Sounds good. I think the way that Apache subprojects work is that to be able
to commit to CVS yourself, you have to be voted by the existing committers
to be "promoted" from developer to committer. Until that happens, you can
send stuff to this list or to me and I (or some other committer) will commit
it.

Sounds very reasonable. I'm getting the CVS FAQ myself, and I'm going to
brush up. In the meantime (likely tomorrow) I'll send the files related to
fo:simple-link directly to you as a unit, diffs and otherwise, since you
mostly want to see how I am doing things, and I may not be ready to check
in stuff to CVS for 3-5 days, but I could use some input sooner.
