There is a uuid library available in the boost sandbox. I seem to remember it having a bug on Windows, but it was quick to fix.

I checked out the whole sandbox from svn (svn url https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox), but I'm having trouble finding a uuid library there. what would be the name of the library?

http://www.boostpro.com/vault/ uuid_v13.zip (and other versions) may be what you are seeking. Paul PS This shows that an 'incubator' site would be useful - this stuff is in use and under active refinement. It may even be in review queue. But will always benefit from more users - like you ;-) --- Paul A. Bristow Prizet Farmhouse Kendal, UK LA8 8AB +44 1539 561830, mobile +44 7714330204 pbristow@hetp.u-net.com

Even more, this already has been reviewed and accepted. But the author disappeared *sigh*.

I would be willing to take over this library, Hartmut. -- Marshall

That would be just great. During the preparations for the review I was already inclined to reject the review request because Andy Tompkins (cc'ed) was very slow with his responses, but he promised to find time for his library. This only got worse after the review and he never even touched the library to address to the review remarks. Perhaps it's the best if you get in direct contact with Andy asking him whether you could take over the maintenance of this library. If he doesn't respond to this, I'd say go ahead. It has been a year now since the review, so I see no reason to assume Andy is still interested. Regards Hartmut ------------------- Meet me at BoostCon http://boostcon.com

I'm happy to see uuid move forward, been using it (uuid_alt_v13_pod.zip) for a while now. Some inline declarations were missing, which gave double definition errors from the linker when trying to link two object files that both included the uuid headers. Those were fixed in a matter of minutes.

I have recently reloaded my computer. I am running windows xp. What svn program do you recommend, as I have not installed one yet and I am not familiar with any? I hope to have my library into boost tonight if possible.

Regards, Andy.

TortoiseSVN works well for me on XP; http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/ Cheers, Mikko

Hi. I feel very sheepish. I have been working _slowly_ on the uuid library on my own machine. I have been trying to get it completely perfect before putting it in boost. I now believe that this has been a mistake.

I would like to get it into boost. Can someone help me? I don't know exactly where it should go, how to do it, what branch, what is the process for boost?

There's already an SVN access invitation on it's way.

Code should go into Trunk, and then get merged to the release branch when it's stable and passing it's tests at http://beta.boost.org/development/testing.html. Only merge to release when that branch is open for changes (watch for messages here or the calendar here: http://www.boost.org/development/index.html. If in doubt ask :-)

You also need to:

* Add your name and email to libs/maintainers.txt * Add your library to libs/libraries.htm * Add your library to status/Jamfile.v2 * Make sure you haven't broken anything before you commit (been there, done that, got the T-shirt!)

Thank you! I have installed TortoiseSVN, checked out trunk, put my changes into my copy. I am now compiling and testing. If all goes well, I will commit tonight. Regards, Andy.
