Hi,
Following David A. recommendation I put up a wiki page that presents initial version of my proposal for boost development environment, testing and release procedures.
http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/IndependentLibraryVersioning
It's still missing one key piece - version selection algorithm. I just don't have time to complete it now and won't until weekend. But it should be complete enough to explain all the key points (and some more). I shamelessly stole couple statements from Beman's objective section. Well, we do have similar objectives ;)
Any comments are welcome.
I like the idea of allowing individual libraries and their dependencies being released between full Boost versions when deemed necessary.
I believe you misunderstood. Individual library packaging is not in scope of this proposal. I may be considered in a future. In a short term users can pull released individual library manually from svn. In both cases they will do it on their own risk. The only reliable way to use boost to stick with boost umbrella releases. Gennadiy
