Write access to the CVS repository
I wanted to correct a spelling error in one of the Boost CVS documentation files but I didn't have write access to the Boost CVS repository. Is there a way to get this ? If not, should I mention such an error on this NG or is there some other place ?

Not to belittle your patch, but normally write access is limited to people who have libraries or other major contributions to make. Posting it here would probably be a good idea. Will someone volunteer to apply Edward's patch? -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
That's fine with me. Just makes more work for others and less for me. The documentation patch is in using_concept_check.htm. The word 'application' is spelled 'applicatino'. David Abrahams wrote:

Actually, discerning that you probably meant libs/concept_check/using_concept_check.htm and searching the whole file for 'applicatino' finding nothing and replying to your post was easier than adding a new Boost developer to the project. If you're concerned about saving work for others, please post a _patch_ next time. Thanks, -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com

"Example Getting back to the earlier motivating example, one good applicatino of concept checks would be to insert function_requires() at the top of std::stable_sort() to make sure the template parameter type models RandomAccessIterator."

I fixed it already. Doug

That's not a patch... but as I was trying to say, the text is already correct in CVS. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com

My WinCVS is now dead on my machine but I could have sweared when I last updated the file, earlier today, it showed the error. I am glad the typo has been fixed in the meantime. No doubt there is a way to generate a CVS patch and I might be able to figure it out by next year <g> . Yes, I find CVS, and all its equivalences, a gruesome joke on programmers.
