Something in the doc build also prevented me from doing a bjam release two weeks ago :-( So I'll have to try and get a bjam release done ASAP, and merged into the release. But ASAP for me right now means the weekend. So is it OK to do this merge?
I'm not wild about this, actually. It makes me more than a little uncomfortable to think about upgrading the build system this late in the release cycle.
I share Eric's concern.
Changes to critical infrastructure (like build and test) are best done at the start of the cycle.
Exactly.
What exactly would be the impact of this change?
Also, how quickly can it be done and what are the risks it introduced instabilities? --Beman
