Submit a library that compute the roots of a polynomial upto the 4th order

Hi, This is my first time that I wan to submit a library to boost. On http://www.boost.org/development/submissions.html, it mentioned boost vault, without explaining what it is. Can somebody let me know what it is? What is the difference between boost vault and boost sandbox? Do I need to submit my library to vault or sandbox? Where shall I put it? Thanks, Peng

Hi, you should take a depper look on the Community section. Boost vault is a repository of on going libraries. You can start by the vault, and put a compressed file in the more adequated directory. In your case Math - Numerics seams the more adapted. You will need to create an account before. Please do put the doc readable by a browser.The vault is on http://www.boost-consulting.com/vault/ You can also put your library in the SVN sandbox software configuration manager. It allows you to version your library. I think that you will need to request an account to put something in, but you can get whatever you want without an account. You will need an SVN client. Best, Vicente

Can I name my library as Boost.Numeric.Equation? Current, I use makefile to compile it. But boost uses bjam. Do I have to provide bjam files when I post code to vault? Thanks, Peng

You can name it anything you want: as long as you make it clear in any docs etc that it's not an officially accepted Boost library yet.

No, but when it come to asking for feedback and/or a review, it will be easier if you can provide Jamfiles. HTH, John.

Please use subversion unless you specifically need the vault for something. We have somewhat limited storage in the vault area. -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
