Again, no code changes are involved. Right now Boost.Python is built as part of a Boost build, and likewise is released as part of a Boost release. All I'm suggesting is to build and release Boost.Python stand-alone, against an external Boost installation.

Does that mean Boost.Python would no longer be part of a Boost release?

That would be the goal, yes. (Boost.Python doesn't have any dependencies on recent Boost additions, so I expect it to be very stable with respect to ongoing development in the rest of the Boost code.)

I am strongly against breaking up the Boost release. I also think such a fundamental change has to go through the Steering Committee. -- Nevin ":-)" Liber mailto:nevin@eviloverlord.com (847) 691-1404
