To use this utility it will require modification of our own Perl modules found on the FOP SVN site. Whether that requires just a change to the patterns (path.pm file) or the more complicated requirement of writing our own pattern subroutine (in the view.pm) I am not yet sure. Unfortunately though I'll have to park this as I currently have no more time I can spend on it but as I said will keep my eye on it and let you know if anything progresses.
In the meantime I am guessing there will be a vote to release fairly soon which will result in the documentation needing to be updated. > Subject: Re: FOP Release Automation > From: the.webmaes...@gmail.com > Date: Tue, 15 Jul 2014 07:53:19 -0700 > To: fop-dev@xmlgraphics.apache.org > > On Jul 15, 2014, at 7:46 AM, Glenn Adams <gl...@skynav.com> wrote: > > I suppose it depends on whether or not we need to hack perl to use the > > facility.
