Why are digital mars, como and other 'non-required' compilers in the regressions results page ( http://tinyurl.com/cdlxk )?
Because the release was tested on them and many people would like to see what's the status of these?
Shouldn't these be on the 'developer link' ?
I don't see why. These people are not Boost developers.
I was expecting to see an all green condition
If you follow the "Release View" link at the top, you'll see the report showing only the status of the required toolsets.
I see -- I believe this is where the mainpage link should send 'users'.
We could do that, but see below.
and instead I see a bunch of failures we never really tried to resolve. I think we should remove these from the user pages....
On what basis?
It's just extra noise for most users -- not many people use dmc or tru64. And it could reduce their confidence in boost...
I tend to share the sentiment, but I'd still prefer the main page/release notes to have direct links to both sets of pages -- correspondingly marked up, of course. -- Aleksey Gurtovoy MetaCommunications Engineering
