Weiqi,
I assume you meant that what makes sense is neither what I suggested nor
what Charlie suggested, but rather, prepared Javadoc with the binary distro,
and none with the source. I pretty much assume that the complete set of
batch files will be identical acrosss different distros.
I want to make it clear that the Javadoc is not going to help someone all
that much in figuring out how to make FOP run. We are talking about the API
docs when I say Javadoc, _not_ the regular HTML documentation.
Incidentally, none of this is an issue for me. I have a fast machine and I
have a cable connection. If all potential users also have cable or ADSL
connections then it's a moot point. But they don't, so distro size (I would
think) is a consideration.
