I'd like a URL that automatically redirects to the docs for the latest version of my library. Is there such a redirect on boost.org already? -- Eric Niebler BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com

I believe that e.g. http://www.boost.org/libs/proto should work. In Christ, Steven Watanabe

Ah, thanks. I couldn't find that anywhere. Is there some way I could have discovered that on my own? Maybe others would want stable links as well. -- Eric Niebler BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com

All the libraries have redirects for the root location as if they where in the regular Boost distribution, i.e. "/libs/<libdir>". Only documentation to that effect though is in the web site htaccess file <https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/website/public_html/live/.htaccess>. -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org (msn) - grafik/redshift-software.com -- 102708583/icq - grafikrobot/aim,yahoo,skype,efnet,gmail

Thanks, Rene. Can you think of a way of making this more discoverable? -- Eric Niebler BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com

It's already there in the Guidelines, though not easy to find: <https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/Guidelines/Requirements#Redirection> Not a fan of the web vs trac split, ~ Scott

That's very obscure. I don't think that it would be any easier to find if it was on the main site. Anyway, moving pages into trac is on hold, since it's likely that it will be moved into the new wordpress based site so I don't want to waste any time on it. If the new site doesn't take off, then I'll look into setting up snapshots, as we discussed before. Daniel
