Christian, completely understandable. :) We also rely heavily on iostreams and I've added it to my watchlist. I'll try to help with it as well. Alex. On 06/03/2016 11:06 PM, Christian Meesters wrote:
Hi,
I kind of anticipated this answer. And I would love to participate. However, job and family obligations make me very hesitant to take on more long-term tasks.
This being written, I would like to thank Juan for his offer. I myself will look into an issue or two. I do, however, think some of the unhandled pull requests effect the overall situation and the issues I perceived. Juan, if you start working as a BLOM on iostreams, feel free to contact me directly: I do not want to make the situation worse, yet once you gain some overview I can make fresh pulls, test, fix and make commits / pull requests sometimes.
Perhaps it would be a good idea to meet some of you in Berlin, later this year. But so far my boss is very reluctant to pay ...
Thanks a lot to all of you, have a nice weekend, Christian

Hi,
I noticed that there are numerous issues in the bug list, regarding boost iostreams. However, the current doc states Copyright 2004-2007 and Tickets do not receive responses. (I even read: "(I tried e-mailing Jonathan Turkanis directly, but the e-mail address on the website seems to be not used anymore)" in ticket 7574.
So, my question is: I anyone maintaining this library? If not: I doubt that there is a good alternative, because iostreams just is convenient to use and a selling point to for boost. It would be a pitty.
Maybe you'd like to take over the maintainence yourself? Boost has a program whereby you can become the official library maintainer (BLOM). Since you depend upon the library and presumable have to monitor any issues anyway you might want to consider this. It would be a good way to make a valuable contribution to Boost and C++ without having to take on alot of work you're not already doing. And being an official maintainer of a well regarded boost library looks good on your resume as well. It's a good career move.
