1. Is there a Boost library removal process, so that one can at least mark a library as >deprecated? The duality, sort of, to the acceptance process.
You deprecate code or functionalities to reduce maintenance costs. One example of a valid reason to deprecate a library in Boost would be when there is no maintainer for it. Another reason would be a library that has got a large number of unresolved issues. To completely remove a library from Boost, one could consider that a library that has been deprecated for a given period could be voted for removal. When you decide to have deprecation and removal in your maintenance process, it must be formal, objective and easy to understand. -- EA http://www.bureau14.fr/ __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 4658 (20091203) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com
