I've been running Boost tests on HP-UX/acc (full, non-incremental test run) on a daily basis for more than a year, with a few exceptions: for example, this weekend, the lab machines will be shut down for infrastructure upgrade. This is what allowed HP-UX/acc to become a release platform in 1.34. Since you did not include HP-UX/acc in the list of release compilers for 1.35.0, you, probably, think that this platform does not have "enough testing resources". What makes you think so?

My candidates for the release criteria compilers are:
* Microsoft VC++ 8.0 on Win32 * Intel 10.0 on Win32 * GCC on Linux * GCC on Darwin
Which means that you would be dropping official boost support for a wide range of platforms, if I understand you correctly.
*No* It only means that for the 1.35.0 release we are only testing on platforms where enough testing resources have been contributed, and are running reliably.
This would make the cross platform aspect of boost kind of mood, wouldn't it?
No. Boost developers aren't going to deliberately cripple cross-platform support in their libraries. They will continue to watch the tests results for all platforms, and apply reasonable fixes when they can. --Beman _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
