Dear release team,
we're about to freeze the next release. I'd like to kindly ask for your permission to address the issues discussed in this thread
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/198532/
before it's too late, again. Reportedly the outdated files do - other than hoped in that thread - NOT work anymore - and neither do the new and documented ones for the lack of dependencies.
So, what I'd like to do is:
o merge trunk changes into the Functional module of Fusion o add Forward o optionally add Factory
Please check the new mini libraries for "release compliance" and give me a go on the fix.
We're in bug-fix mode for the next release. Are there test failures on the release branch this will fix? Which ones? Which tickets will this close? What revisions specifically are you asking to merge from trunk? Can you send links to them?
Would be too bad to go with a partially defunct Fusion in two releases for bureaucratic reasons.
Not for bureaucratic reasons. You had 3 months to merge your fixes from trunk to release. IIRC, this is the second time you've waited until the last minute to try to get these changes in. Don't blame the release procedures or the release managers, who are doing their job as best they can.
Please also note that rolling back to a proper previous version might involve more changes and will complicate future merges for us.
Roll back what? Did anybody suggest that? -- Eric Niebler BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
