Talking about flexibility, I've got two remarks about fop:
- It uses format autodetection by default, using papersize and
locales settings. People building packages for distributions may
like the concept of build reproducibility and may want to build
stuff independently of the environment. It'd be nice to be able to
pass --noautosize without having to patch all specs/Makefile.am
files in Xorg packages.
- Fop is very chatty, and may clutter the build log with messages
which aren't going to be read except by a few developers (I'm not
even sure?). It'd be nice to be able to tell it to be less
chatty. Since no option seems to exist for that matter, I guess
it'll still be nice to be able to redirect its std{out,err} to
/dev/null…
What do you think?
(I've been playing around with libXaw for now, but I guess the same
applies to all Xorg packages with reworked documentation handling.)
