fop 19

[Peter B. West]

Does anyone know what happened to fop 19?  Did the tag go away?  It does 
not show up in a cvs status of build.xml.  I ask because the starting 
point for my code was 19, and I would like a point nearby to branch from 
for my initial migration.

Re: FW: FOP 19 zip file

[Arved Sandstrom]

My argument for not providing the ZIP this time around was exactly what Petr 
just said, size, and the knowledge that on any common system that people are 
likely to have, they can handle a .tar.gz.

I am currently finding out if there are any special circumstances warranting 
a ZIP release. If not, I will probably put a Readme up in the dist folder 
with a descriptive name, explaining why you don't need a ZIP.

In any case, I'll bet that this particular case is one of a person just not 
knowing what a tarball is. Ironically, once they download it, they could 
double-click it and unpackage with WinZip just as easy as if it was ZIP, and 
they wouldn't even know the difference. Because I'll guarantee this is a 
person on Windows.

Regards,
Arved Sandstrom

 Why? tar.gz is much smaller and does the job as well.

  Subject: FOP 19 zip file
  
  Could you please put in the download section a zip file for
  the new FOP 19 like you did for 18.

You cannot untar a tar file created by GNU tar with any other tar
command, for example the Solaris tar command, if there are files whose
pathname exceeds 100 characters.

For people who know this, the solution is right there, install GNU tar,
or untar it on another machine with GNU tar, and move the directory
structure over.

For people who doesn't know this, it could be quite frustating.  They
usually redo the download several times before realizing the problem
lies elsewhere.

FOP .19 problem on AS/400 platform

[vincent van der linden]

Dear developers, 

We are using fop for a while on our IBM AS/400 midrange 
system. A recompiled Fop 18.1 (with font support fix) 
is the recent installed version. 

Today i installad version .19 on my pc and on the 
AS/400, on the pc it's working good but on the AS/400 
it gives errors and i can't see a difference. 

Are you aware of fop problems on a AS/400 (it uses unix 
api's to perform the java functions) ? our jdk is 
1.1.8. 

The resulting errors are : 
 
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError 
java/lang/Error.init()V+1 (Error.java:43)
  org/apache/fop/apps/Options.setCommandLineOptions
(Lorg/apache/fop/apps/CommandLineOptions;)V+0 
(Options.java:69) 
  org/apache/fop/apps/CommandLineStarter.init
(Lorg/apache/fop/apps/CommandLineOptions;)V+0 
(CommandLineStarter.java:27)
   org/apache/fop/apps/CommandLineOptions.getStarter()
(Lorg/apache/fop/apps/Starter;+0 
(CommandLineOptions.java:372)   
  org/apache/fop/apps/Fop.main([Ljava/lang/String;)V+0 
(Fop.java:14) 

 Press ENTER to end terminal session. 
   
Thanks in advance.
