In order to do this I need:
a) authority to check in
Please get a sourceforge userID and tell us what it is. I suggest something recognizable like robert_ramey.
b) information on how to mark tests/compilers known to fail.
I knew once; I think other people know the answers for sure.
c) I have a couple of questions that I need an expert opinion on.
i) the first one is that in order to work, versions for vc 6.0 and borland need to be compiled with spirit 1.61. So the a special environmental variable indicating the directory path where this version of spirit is located on the testing machine. SPIRIT_ROOT. This variable has to be set when serialization libraries are built for these compilers.
You should know that your library doesn't have to work on these older compilers in order to be checked in. Support for those *could* come later.
I should say I'm more than a little bit concerned about changes to mpl and iterators. I'm very much aware of the delays and difficulties associated with the 1.31 release - and it didn't even include this package.
There will be no major changes to iterators. MPL changes are substantial but should be mostly backward-compatible.
So I would like to continue on the path I've established above and we'll see where things stand July 16 when/if you are ready to branch for release.
Good Luck !
