I'm not sure who to ask, so I'll just throw this out there. For the 1.33 release I'd like to fix whatever it was that kept date-time docs from being included from the 1.32 pdf file. I don't think there was a full accounting after 1.32 as to what stopped date-time from being included.

No, there wasn't. I remember you asking that and me meaning to reply, but never got to it -- sorry! The short asnwer is that it was excluded from Boost-wide PDF due to formatting issues which affected the whole PDF's representability (TOC in particular) and which I didn't have time to fix (or wait for someone else to fix it).

Given that I am still unable to generate a full boost pdf (fails in the fo processing step)

If you meant FO -> PDF stage, then I say "unsurprisingly". FOP is just not mature enough, at least yet (personally, I question whether it's even going to be, but that's another story).

I'm not really able to help diagnose and fix the problem. I'm aware that this works for others, so there's something wrong with my setup...

I doubt it very much that, given the current toolchain, the *Boost-wide* PDF generation works for somebody at all, but I'd be happy to be proved wrong.

So here's what would be really helpful: 1) whomever is going to generate the pdf docs would generate and post a pre 1.33 version soon

I'll give it a try.

2) if there is a problem with date-time we can work on correcting it

Sure.

3) we can re-run at least once a week as we put release doc changes in
