Just throwing out an idea: if (and I said "if" :-)) we agree to have the sandbox as the one place for "incubation", would it be possible, given the current Boost infrastructure, to provide something like SourceForge's "Download GNU tarball" link?
Do you mean, a way to download a .zip snapshot of any given subdirectory of the sandbox?
It's certainly possible. Probably it should be a Trac plugin. Hmm, I wonder if such a plugin exists already.
I already implemented downloading a TGZ of any subtree in the SVN repo as part of the regression testing. But I loath pointing it out to people as it's something that if used frequently increases the burden on the svn/web server.
To Dave: yes, that's what I meant. To Rene and everyone: would it be possible to enable it selectively? Perhaps only on sandbox/, or only some of its subdirectories. At "worst" just on the subdirectory for the library under review. -- Genny
