Upcoming fixes for L & C issues in "abandoned" libraries

In the next few days I will be tackling license & copyright issues of libraries for which the registered maintainer or the copyright owner have not posted to any of the boost lists in the last couple of months. That is, I will fix libraries that have a high chance of not being actively maintained. For the cases where none of the copyright owners appear in boost/more/blanket-permission.txt I will try to contact them beforehand. The affected libraries are: array (Nicolai M. Josuttis) compatibility (Ralf W. Grosse-Kunstleve) detail (various authors) disjoint_sets (Jeremy Siek) format (Samuel Krempp) functional (?) iostreams (Jonathan Turkanis) lamda (Jaakko Jarvi) more (various authors) numeric/interval (Sylvain Pion) pool (Steven Cleary) random (Jens Maurer) rational (Jonathan Turkanis) tokenizer (John R. Bandela) tuple (Jaakko Jarvi) utility (various authors) If anybody would rather not have these issues resolved in any of the libraries above, please speak up before November, 24 00:00 UTC.

I agreed with Nicolai to take over support for this library a while back, although it is a pretty stable library so there is not a lot to do ;?) current copyrights should probably still say Nico, as it is still essentially his original library unchanged other than a little TR1 window dressing. Is there anything I need to do other than posting to this list to be recognised as maintainer? (the topic comes up around every 6 months) -- AlisdairM

I think the libraries should update in a time. It should up to date, to catch up with the modern development. Thanks for your effort!:) _________________________________________________________________ 免费下载 MSN Explorer: http://explorer.msn.com/lccn/

You could add a footnote to the docs to indicate that queries should go to you maybe?
How about adding your name to libs/maintainers.txt for array, which currently has no maintainer listed. Anthony -- Anthony Williams Software Developer Just Software Solutions Ltd http://www.justsoftwaresolutions.co.uk

Hi

Not a lot but there's one inspection failure ;-)... Seriously, don't bother. I will probably not spend more than a few seconds fixing that one.

Ok.
Is there anything I need to do other than posting to this list to be recognised as maintainer? (the topic comes up around every 6 months)
Yes, please add your name and email address to boost/libs/maintainers.txt. Thanks & Regards, -- Andreas Huber When replying by private email, please remove the words spam and trap from the address shown in the header.

Well, the ultra-efficient make_array() functions was a clear missing part. -Thorsten

along with support for checked iterators and tests for constant initialization of arrays of PODs. Changes other than TR1 support were deliberately kept out while 1.34 was going through final testing. Unfortunately, 1.34 has taken longer than expected, but yes I do expect to pick up features in the library shortly. -- AlisdairM

boost::array is still not 100% TR1 conforming, in particular, its size() function is static. This breaks boost::bind( &Cnt::size, _1 ), as reported on the -users list.

Hi Andreas, My name is on the blanket-permission.txt list. Cheers, Jaakko On Nov 22, 2006, at 8:20 AM, Andreas Huber wrote:
