[1.35.0] Release branch snapshots
The first attempt at a release branch snapshot is now available. See http://beta.boost.org/development/testing.html#Snapshots for more information, and a link to the actual files. Thanks to Martin Wille for setting up the hosting! The plan is to automatically build Unix and Windows snapshots on a daily basis. Right now the only snapshot available is a .zip with Windows line endings. For the moment the focus is simply getting the build process in place for both Unix and Windows. Once that is running more or less smoothly, the focus can shift to making sure the content is all there, and that other QA checks are being met. --Beman

Yes, thanks Martin!

I downloaded the .zip file and unpacked it on my Linux box converting the files endings (unzip -a). Here's a few issues I noticed in looking over the docs: 1) We need updates of all the added/changed libraries on the main page 2) link for asio is broken off the 'libraries' page -- looks like it may be missing in the doc/src/boost.xml file -- not seeing anything in the docs location. 3) system library has 2 lines on 'libraries' page 4) GIL isn't licensed under BSL -- is this ok? I thought we were trying to move as much to BSL as possible. 5) circular_buffer is missing a link from the libraries page 6) property_tree is missing a link from the libraries page I'm running a build now...I'll let you know the results.

Another issue for the list: 7) There are two copies of the quickbook documentation, one standalone copy in tools/quickbook/doc/html and one in the combined documentation at doc/html.

That copy is already in SVN.
and one in the combined documentation at doc/html.
Then that's the copy generated by the documentation build process. Should the tools/quickbook/doc/html directory be removed entirely from the release tarball? Thanks for catching this, --Beman

Thanks, Jeff! I'll work on getting the library page in shape. --Beman

I believe GIL is already under Boost Software License. What made you conclude that it isn't? Is there a header somewhere that needs changing?
The documentation in the 1.35 release snapshot said it's the MIT license -- so it's probably just a docs change...I didn't actually look at the source code. Jeff

.gz and .bz2 files are now available with POSIX line endings. With exports from CVS, POSIX file permissions had to be adjusted. SVN export seems to have gotten the permissions closer to right, so the POSIX snapshot script isn't applying any permission changes. But I'm not all that knowledgeable about POSIX file permissions, so it would be helpful is some POSIX users would take a look and report any problems they find. --Beman

How do we "Check for the svn:executable property and delete it"? How do we prevent the svn:executable property from being set incorrectly in the future? AFAIK, the executable bit isn't something Windows users have any control over. Help needed on these! --Beman

(Clarification: I search for DOS line endings in the UNIX tar archive.)

./tools/regression/test/test-cases/general/bjam.log ... I'm not sure what the fix is for this. Doug? Anyone?
A fix is simple: $ svn propset svn:eol-style native tools/regression/test/test-cases/general/bjam.log "native" ensures that a checked out file has the expected system style for end of line markers (\n on Posix, \r\n for DOS, \r for MacOS). Please read the Subversion documentation for details. (There may be some trouble if working under cygwin, I think this system gets \n which may not fit if you use a DOS/Windows editor in parallel.) Attention: This should only be set for text files. To be honest I didn't checked whether UNIX line endings in SVG files are allowod but the probability for it is > 99%.

How do we "Check for the svn:executable property and delete it"?
$ svn propget svn:executable rst.css * $ svn propdel svn:executable rst.css property 'svn:executable' deleted from 'rst.css'.
How do we prevent the svn:executable property from being set incorrectly in the future? AFAIK, the executable bit isn't something Windows users have any control over.
Yep. But I care about the executable property in Subversion and even Windows users have control over it. It is probably not easy to avoid that it is set (and requires knownledge about it), as it is taken by default from the filesystem permission which is missing on Windows so that a default is used. Once we assume that filename suffixes allow to determine the content it is simple: Just edit the Subversion configuration file (on POSIX systems ~/.subversion/config) and enable [miscellany] ### Set enable-auto-props to 'yes' to enable automatic properties ### for 'svn add' and 'svn import', it defaults to 'no'. ### Automatic properties are defined in the section 'auto-props'. enable-auto-props = yes [auto-props] ### The format of the entries is: ### file-name-pattern = propname[=value][;propname[=value]...] ### The file-name-pattern can contain wildcards (such as '*' and ### '?'). All entries which match will be applied to the file. ### Note that auto-props functionality must be enabled, which ### is typically done by setting the 'enable-auto-props' option. *.c = svn:eol-style=native *.cpp = svn:eol-style=native *.cc = svn:eol-style=native *.h = svn:eol-style=native *.hpp = svn:eol-style=native *.dsp = svn:eol-style=CRLF *.dsw = svn:eol-style=CRLF *.sh = svn:eol-style=native;svn:executable *.txt = svn:eol-style=native *.tex = svn:eol-style=native *.png = svn:mime-type=image/png *.xpm = svn:mime-type=image/x-xpixmap;svn:eol-style=native *.jpg = svn:mime-type=image/jpeg Makefile = svn:eol-style=native Makefile.am = svn:eol-style=native You need to adapt this list ...
Help needed on these!
Should be simple using some shell magic ... Jens
