[PATCH] fop's resource.xml
Forgive my newbie-ness here, but I'm having problems figuring out how
to send this [patch] in. I'm sending it here... Please enlighten me
(gently ;-p) so that next time I'm doing it as efficiently as possible.
Thanks!
PATCH INFO:
The info for XPath is missing the fact that it's pretty much Windows IE
5+ only (requires MSXML 3.0). However, it's still a really useful tool!
It'd be nice if it could be re-engineered to be cross-platform!
Here's the good part:

I'm using MacCvsX (which appears to be different from MacCVS ;( ). It
took a bit to get it running (mainly permissions issues), but it's
working. If it's all the same to you, I'll keep using MacCvsX... (That's
not to say I won't try to get MacCVS working, though).

Ahhh... --unified It looks like I can do it from the command line, now
that I know a bit more how it works...

I saw a command-line utility when I was first playing around with it.
I'm having trouble finding it again... I'll keep looking.

Double-check the WinCVS MacCVS page to see if they have a later version. I
am actually running a beta version of WinCVS, and seeing no known problems.

Try 'man diff'. CVS is largely "just" a wrapper around RCS and diff, so you
should *generally* be able to use the diff doc.
If MacCVS works like WinCVS, there is a command-line console available that
has CVS built into it, even if the OS doesn't have natively.

I'm launching MacCvsX as we speak (I don't run WinCVS ;-p). I just
checked and unfortunately, "Unified diff" is not an option. I thought I
could run it from the command line if you give me the command to run,
but nope, it won't work... I did a 'man cvs' and /Unified showed
"Pattern not found". Any ideas? I think I'll just do my edits onesy,
twosy and send you each edit separately. I doubt there'll be many. Any
that happen to be "large" we'll probably have a discussion about on
fop-dev in advance anyway, so you'll know it's coming.

"Doc" is not an option in the "Severity" menu, but it is under the
"Component" menu. I'll choose "Enhancement" instead of "minor" for
Severity if that's what you prefer...

The only problem I saw with the DIFF file was that it was not in "unified"
format, which helps the patch programs find the context more easily. On the
one that you submitted, it didn't matter because it was easier to
cut-and-paste than to run patch anyway. If you are using WinCVS, I know that
the newer versions have a checkbox on the diff page for "Unified diff",
which you will want to select.

Enhancement is fine, unless there is a specific category for Doc.

Thanks. So essentially, I did everything correctly except I didn't open
a new bugzilla item, and put '[PATCH]' at the beginning of the SUMMARY.
I'll do that next time. I'll then attach the DIFF file (were there any
problems with that DIFF file?). Since much of what I'll be doing will be
(hopefully) improving the web site, Platform will be 'All'. As for
Severity, would you prefer I indicate "Enhancement", or stick with my
own assessment to severity (most would end up being 'minor' as
'nit-picking' is not an option ;-p).

Thanks for the patch. The instructions are here:

I modified (and applied) the patch to say something like "Requires Internet
Explorer 5+". IMO, comments like this are in a gray area -- if they do
change their product to be cross-platform, we're out-of-date. In spite of
the relative inconvenience to the user, it is almost better for them to find
this out by following the link.
Thanks for your continuing efforts to improve the doc.
