Moving the new spirit/qi to xml_iarchive to a branch won't help because the difficultities are only showing up on the test matrix machines.
Hi Robert - While branches are not helpful for the testing phase in themselves, they are a great tool for managing various independent changes to a library. If the xml changes were in a branch they could be easily applied and removed and re-applied to the trunk at any time. I'm constantly amazed at the lack of branches in general for boost development. They are trivial to create and make 'cherry-picking' changes very easy. Considering how we (as a community) try to use the trunk as a stable testing ground, the judicious application of branches seems the only sensible way to develop. best regards - michael -- Michael Caisse Object Modeling Designs www.objectmodelingdesigns.com
