Feedback appreciated!
Attached are the diffs between boost_1_31_0_rc2.zip and the most current RC_1_31_0 CVS.
Is it OK that some .gif and .mcp files are different? Or is this due to a bad CVS/binary interaction?
Good catch! adj-matrix-graph2.gif, subgraph.gif, and undir-adj-matrix-graph2.gif are checked in a regular rather than binary files. Jeremy? tools/build/c++boost.gif and tools/build/v2/c++boost.gif shouldn't be there at all (but should be binary if they were there). Volodya? libs/thread/build/threads.mcp and libs/thread/test/test.mcp almost certainly should be binary. -Mac? While I hope these get fixed, I don't see them as showstoppers. The other differences are because of very late commits. Come on guys, we need to finish this release and move on!
BTW, is there a general policy regarding end-of-line characters? I noticed that some (?) files in the zip archieve contain ctrl-M. That's not ideal for Unix or Mac users.
In the real releases, the .gz and bz2 distributions have cr-nl changed to just nl. That seems to keep everyone happy. I only generated the .zip (with the cr-nl's still in place) for the release candidate, but didn't do the two other distribution files because of bandwidth constraints. --Beman
