Bug 9047 – [NEW] eBuild: dev-java/fop-0.20.4

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Steven Wong 2002-10-12 13:04:56 UTC]

Since you already have dev-java/{xerces,xalan} packages, it only makes sense to
have one for fop too.

Xerces is the XML parser, Xalan is the XSLT processor, and FOP is the formatting
objects processor.

That is, from an XSL formatting object, it's FOP's job to make it into something
useful like a PDF.

is there any reason this package is not built from source?

[Comment 4 Steven Wong 2002-10-27 00:56:50 UTC]

Sorry, not really sure. :)

But um... it's a bunch of .class files anyway (Java bytecode). So I don't think 
it would make much, if any, difference if it was compiled from source anyway 
(other than take more time).

Already in portage as dev-java/fop-bin same version and everything, if it is requested, I will write a fop-src ebuild.
