Hi Marshall -
Thx for keeping this up. I have a question, though. I'm wondering if Mike Glassford or Stephen Cleary (2 of the top 3) are really going to ever address their bugs in the near future? My guess is no. Perhaps we should consider closing some of these out as 'will not be fixed -- no active maintainer'?
Jeff - I think that closing these is the wrong thing to do. Rather, we should find someone who is interested in maintaining those libraries, or possibly, remove them from boost - since they contain bugs and are no longer maintained. [ My 2c, obviously. ]
Taking it from another angle, by my count we have the following historical breakdown:
Opened in 2002 - 9 Opened in 2003 - 3 Opened in 2004 - 12 Opened in 2005 - 37
Seems to me that the 24 issues that are now over a year old really should be evaluated for validaty or closed as unlikely to ever be fixed. Thoughts?
I agree that they should be evaluated for validity. I'll bet that a lot of them have been fixed; since I started nagging people, many bugs have been closed with "oh yeah - that was fixed in 1.32" type comments. If they're still valid bugs, and are on supported platforms, then they should be remain open until they are fixed. -- -- Marshall Marshall Clow Idio Software <mailto:marshall@idio.com> It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion.
