Pinging Joel de Guzman re Spirit 1.6.4
Hallo, Joel. I'm posting to Boost.Development because my posts to Spirit.Development do not seem to get through. As I explain here: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/153490/focus=153547 I'd like to issue a Spirit 1.6.4 release to better support regression testers that use either Borland or old Microsoft compilers. I'm willing to take charge of everything and I know my way around SourceForge well enough to manage without handholding. However I have two worries: - As a plain developer do I have a sufficient authorization level for all the tasks involved? - Is there anything special I should do, e.g. specific testing, prereleases, etc.? Cheers, Nicola Musatti

You might already have seen my previous post. All that is needed seems to be to port serialization.jam to support the bbv2 toolchain, using your <cxxflags>-I trick to get the include order correct. If you think this is reasonable we should just do it. We won't need to touch spirit as far as I can see at the moment. What do you think? Roland

That's kinda odd. You're the second who reported that. What are you getting? Are you sure the address you are using is subscribed? I got tons of spam and disabled posting from unsubscribed addresses.

Sure. That makes sense.

Nothing special. Spirit has its own release cycle though which happens more often than boost's. There's also the miniboost package that should have enough components to work for both 1.8 and 1.6. For this, you'll need full access to the Spirit site. I'll give you one if you don't have it already. THANKS A LOT FOR VOLUNTEERING! I really appreciate that.

As you probably noticed by now, after I subscribed I managed to post without problems. Cheers, Nicola Musatti
