Well this is the method of access suggested in the Boost docs!
Are you telling me this is no longer available?
Yes, it has been disabled for a long while, because the sourceforge server that provides the nightly CVS tarballs that I try to mirror routinely refuses the connection. I just tried again, and it still happens.
In order to help with the documentation and examples, I'm trying to get Gennadiy's latest and greatest updates to the Boost.Test library (only). There are quite a lot of files, so using the web browser doesn't seem practical.
Please can you suggest how I can achieve this.
Use pserver access from sourceforge, or use some kind of spidering software to walk through and collect the relevant parts of http://boost-consulting.com/boost, or download the snapshot tarball from http://boost-consulting.com/boost.tar.bzw I'm out of other ideas; as long as SF's pserver access is broken, all we can do is wait for the change to OSL-supported SVN.
Is it that I (we - actually his team is five people) need username and passwords?
Usernames and passwords would get you ssh access, which is more reliable than pserver access.
Probably we don't need write access.
We don't have a reasonable way of giving you ssh access without write permission. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
