Lack of response to pull requests [resend]
by Beman Dawes 13 May '14

13 May '14

IMO it should be a Boost policy that anyone who submits a pull request deserves a response within a reasonable period of time. *What is a "response"?* GitHub pull requests have a "Comment" mechanism, so that's the best mechanism as it ensures reaching the submitter even they don't read the developer list. We also need to delineate some common responses, but that can wait until the overall policy is agreed upon. *What is a "reasonable period of time"?* This may be a bit of a bike shed discussion since whatever we start with may need adjustment based on experience. Would two weeks be a good starting point? *Who should step in if there is no response from the library maintainer?* The Community Maintenance Team IMO is the logical choice. A pull request that does not receive a timely response may be an early warning sign that the library involved does not have an active maintainer. The CMT folks are interested maintenance and already have processes to review pull requests. This would be an expansion of their mandate, and details need to be worked out such as what happens if the library maintainer is just busy at the moment. *What should the pull submitter do if there is no response within the reasonable period of time?* Send an email to the CMT pointing to the open pull request. (It would be nice if the submitter didn't have to do anything, but that implies the ability to monitor open pull requests. See "[GitHub] List open pull requests for all libraries?")

Boost lists back up but messages since May 9 probably lost
by Beman Dawes 13 May '14

13 May '14

Here are the details: ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: DongInn Kim Date: Tue, May 13, 2014 at 6:48 AM Subject: Re: Boost lists are down To: Beman Dawes <bdawes(a)acm.org> Hi Beman, I am so sorry that there was a problem that I could not notice. The boost mail server and mailing list server were working OK but the spam filter server that the boost mail server use disabled our access, which I did not do and I can not do. I talked to the guy who manages the spam filter and make sure that they take care of the boost mails as well. It seems that it starts to flow but I am afraid that the mails that wowbagger had not delivered since May 9 are missing. :-( I will talk to the guy to see if there is a way to push the valid mails (i.e., non-spam mails) in the spam filter. I suspect that they are all already gone. Regards, -- - DongInn

A problem in the boost mailing list
by Kim, DongInn 13 May '14

13 May '14

Dear Boost mailing list users, My name is DongInn Kim, sysadmin of the boost mailing list. I am so sorry that there was a problem that I could not notice until this morning. The boost mail server and mailing list server have been working OK but the spam filter server that the boost mail server uses disabled our access, which I did not do and I can not do. I talked to the guy who manages the spam filter and make sure that they take care of the boost mails as well. It seems that it starts to flow but I am afraid that the mails that wowbagger had not delivered since May 9 are missing. :-( I will talk to the guy to see if there is a way to push the valid boost mails (i.e., non-spam mails) in the spam filter but I am afraid that they are all already gone. Again, I am sorry for the missing emails. Regards, -- - DongInn

I am not proposing that specific message-loop code be absorbed into Asio. I am asking whether you (or any interested reader) might be able to define an extension API that permits / facilitates a consuming Asio application to integrate with any required message loop. some thing like io_service::wait_events(); but , does not dispatch the event. I can run seperated thread to call this, then post message to gui thread, let gui thread run io_service::poll() to dispatch the handlers; if the hander is executed in gui thread, we can avoid lots of synchronization code between gui thread and asio thread( if io_service::run() has to be run in seperated thread. ).

Boost Python Xcode Example
by Jared McIntyre 12 May '14

12 May '14

I have been trying to get the Boost Python example working when compiling in Xcode. Everything compiles at the moment, but the module fails to load in python. It fails to find the module if it has an extension of either .pyd or .dylib, and .so has the error "ImportError: dynamic module does not define init function” even though the function should be there. I’m sure that I have something setup incorrectly and was wondering is anyone has a working Xcode project example that I could take a look at to see where I’ve gone wrong. Thank you, Jared McIntyre

[GitHub] List open pull requests for all libraries? [resend]
by Beman Dawes 12 May '14

12 May '14

We need to be able to monitor the open pull requests for all Boost libraries, not just a individual library. I'm not seeing any canned way of doing that via the GitHub web site. Am I missing something? It does seem possible to access the required information via the GitHub API. Is that the best approach to take? Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks, --Beman

[asio] Windows 2000 no longer supported?
by Andrey Semashev 11 May '14

11 May '14

Hi, I've been reported this ticket: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/10016 that says that Boost.ASIO requires SO_UPDATE_CONNECT_CONTEXT now, which is only implemented since Windows XP. Is Windows 2000 support officially dropped in Boost.ASIO?
