Thanks, Per.
I already had java on my ubuntu dapper box by downloading and running
automatix. (Debian and ubuntu don't like sun java because it is not
free as in freedom.)
I downloaded xxe from the website
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/download.shtml
specifically xxe-std-3_4_0.tar.gz
and followed the simple instructions under Description on that page.
Per Martin, I ran
svn co http://bbdev.fluffy.co.uk/svn/box/trunk boxbackup
and that downloaded the entire box backup product (revision 778; 3327
files) in just a few seconds.
In the xxe bin directory, I ran
./xxe
and the java window opened. I then tried to open the svn-downloaded
file:
boxbackup/documentation/boxbackup/adminguide.xml
but I get error
Cannot open boxbackup/documentation/boxbackup/adminguide.xml"
.../boxbackup/documentation/boxbackup/ExceptionCodes.xml (No such file
or directory)
{Gosh I wish error messages were all swipe-able for copying and
pasting...Chris, please take note for Boxi.)
Can you please help me past that error?
Opening boxbackup/documentation/boxbackup/instguide.xml worked
perfectly, and I'm poking around that now. I made a junk change to
that file in xxe and saved it. I also ran the menu option, DocBook,
Convert Document, and made an html file; it wasn't pretty, but quite
useable.
How do I make a pretty html page like
http://www.reedtz.com/boxdoc/instguide/ ?
In the svn-downloaded .../boxbackup/ directory, I then ran, per Martin,
svn diff
and it reported exactly the change that I made. And then,
svn st
showed a list of the changed filename(s).
I'll try to make a real change and submit it to trac, perhaps over the
weekend.
Progress!
Thanks again, Per and Martin,
Pete
