FOP-0.93

Hi all,

I'm ready to update the book to FOP-0.93, but wanted to
throw out a
note that we cannot use it to produce PDF output from the
SVN XML
sources. It appears Manuel needs to work some magic to
produce
compatible .fo files.

I don't see any harm in updating, as there really is no need
right
now to produce .pdf forms of the book.

Other thoughts?

Fine by me. Plus, the breakage makes Manuel's fixes more
urgent  We
can always revert later if it turns out that it's totally
incompatible.

Great. However, going backwards because we can't figure out
the
new .fo rules isn't going to happen. 

We'll just have to figure it out. There is a guide somewhere
on
the Apache xmlgraphics pages that helps out with the
upgrade. It
just can't be *that* difficult.

Yes, that it a known issue. Our current stylesheets (both
the DocBook-XSL 
version used and our customizations layout) are very old to
use it.

Better said, almost a full rewrite to can match DocBook-XSL
1.72.1 version, 
when released. Before that, and in case LFS-6.3 is released
without having 
finished the XSL upgrade, I will try to do a quick fix. 

I would to start working on the XSL rewrite the next week,
using the most 
current DocBook-XSL snapshopt as the base.

I neither. As a worse scenario we could say that the PDF
file for {,B}LFS-6.3 
books has been created using FOP-0.20, pointing to the
BLFS-6.2 book for 
installation instructions.
