Hi,
Being new to uBLAS I wanted to post a message to its mailing list. Unfortunatly, the documentation still mentions the Yahoo Group, which, as I now find out, is not the current mailing list of the project. I read at http://lists.boost.org/MailArchives/ublas/msg00095.php that the problem will be corrected with the next release,
We really have to wait until the next boost release to get an important correction made to the boost web page? That sounds nuts!
but, until then, I believe that the easiest thing to do is add a large message at the homepage of the Yahoo Group with information pointing to the new mailing list (I have seen such messages in other Yahoo Groups).
IIRC, the problem is none of the yahoo groups administrators are active on boost anymore, in which case that is not possible. Cheers, Ian

I updated the boost website mailing_list page and the ublas documents to point to the new list. Downloads of the release will still be incorrect, however. HTH, Jeff

Thanks Jeff. Although I'm not responsible for the uBLAS web pages, for the record is there an established procedure to get such updates made if the need arises in the future? Or is this the first time it has happened? Cheers, Ian

Any boost developer can update those pages, by scp'ing them to the appropriate directory of shell.sf.net:/home/groups/b/bo/boost/htdocs. First the developer should make the change in our CVS repository, so it's not lost. The developer must also ensure that there is group write and general read permission on the file(s), and additionally general execute permission on any directories. That can be done either before uploading the material or afterwards by doing a ssh shell.sf.net "chmod-command-here" Yeah, this should be documented on some webpage. Okay, I posted the procedure here: http://www.boost.org/more/updating_the_website.html -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com

Thx Dave -- I've been guilty of not getting the permissions right. Seems that somehow there must have been a workaround. In case anyone else is like me and needs to fix a few pages, you can find all the files you own by logging into the sf shell and running: find /home/groups/b/bo/boost/htdocs -owner your_sf_user_id_here -print Jeff

I don't think there is an established procedure. And we don't have a Boost Webmaster role at the moment. Anyway, I think just asking for help on the list is sufficient -- someone will help out. Since all the changes were already in CVS what I did amounted to a fancy file copy...took about 5 minutes. Jeff
