If we were to version individual Boost libraries which will be the apropiated schema? Should all the libraries follow the same schema? What do you think of? X: complete rewriten or incompatible evolution Y: new functions or major bugs corrections Z: minor bugs corrections
Well...certainly any version scheme is adequate as long as everyone follows it accordingly which is the main concern in my eyes. Having said that, why not use the (common) version scheme open source projects tend to use. A good example (as well as description) can be found on the Apache APR site (http://apr.apache.org/versioning.html).
Hi, Thanks for your pointer. This one is much more oriented to C and binary libraries not to C++ header only libraries. Do you think that it can be adapted to C++? Have you other C++ OpenSource pointers? Thanks, Vicente
