I don't know of a CVS command that would give me all the changes to the repository in the last 12 hours (there may be one).

Thx, that's handy to know...
So I really think that we need to start thinking about a dependency analysis of Boost and an added freeze date for 'core libraries' that need to stay stable during the release process.
I'd really like to avoid that.
Why, what does it hurt?
Extra overhead; more to manage. I'd rather have an automated system that "just works" (yeah, right ;->)
Well, I don't see any overhead or any more to manage. We don't have to keep running some tool. We pretty much know what the core libs are. Make it policy, tell the developers when they need to freeze and trust they will observe it. If they don't and break the build well, they will face the wrath of the rest of us. I don't see why we couldn't make some reasonable agreement like this... Jeff
