Boost Accepted Libraries and CVS problems
Hi, Regarding: http://www.boost.org/more/formal_review_schedule.html == TR1 BY John Maddock already "seems" to be CVS but the it says "Accepted -- not yet added"? Can the docs be updated please? == Circular Buffer Jan Gaspar reviewd in 2004" says "Accepted -- not yet added". IS this one EVER going to make it into Boost CVS. If not then I think the status should be updated to something like "Library no longer available" instead of giving Boosters the wrong impression. == ALSO looking forward for the following accepted libraries to be in CVS soon. - Boost.MPI - Boost.PropertyTree I think Boost should make it a requirement that if a library has been "accepted" then it should be added to CVS "as is" in a "very minimal" timeframe and bug fixes/updates should carry on as usual. Who knows if the original author disappears then atleast we have the code base and someone else may be willing to maintain it. Thanks Shams

No, I think not -- I've prodded Jan and he insists there are changes that are needed and he doesn't have time :-(

At this point, it's the extended 1.34 release schedule that is really causing much of this backup. The RC branch has been frozen for months. I believe property tree will be going on the head soon...MPI, well it just got accepted. Jeff

Done in cvs.

I don't think that would work: we often have libraries that are accepted provided certain changes are made. Those changes should be made before it gets added to the cvs IMO, otherwise there's no incentive to ever make them. Just my 2c, John.
