Hello, I'm new to this list, but have been using Fop to render a DocBook documentation suite for the last year. I finally got around to using the Ant Task and created a patch to only render the output file(s) if they are older than the input .fo file(s). I also added a "force" attribute modeled after the xslt/style Ant Task that allows this behavior to be disabled.
To be conservative, "force" is defaulted to "true" on the 0_20_2-maintain branch (for backward compatibility) and is defaulted to "false" on the HEAD. ( I'd rather the default be "false" in both cases, but decided the change is more likely to be put in if it provides greater backward compatibility.) I've made the changes to org.apache.fop.tools.anttasks.Fop on both the HEAD and 0_20_2-maintain branches. I've also updated the anttask.xml documentation page to document the "force" attribute. I have only tested the changes with the 0_20_2-maintain but the HEAD branch anttask is pretty much the same code as on 0_20_2-maintain. Is there any interest in accepting this change? Should I submit the patches to this mailing list? The guidelines say that the patch should be submitted as a "diff", but should it be in the body of the message or as a text attachment(s)?
